Gee, I Hope I Get It...I Hope I Get It!

One of Colson's audition scenes from the other night, when he auditioned to be in Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz at the Dutch Country Players theater in Telford, PA. It's a great little local theater that does a really great job of making children feel comfortable about auditioning. Colson and Ava love it there, and get so excited about auditioning. Each time they audition, they get better. Ava wouldn't even go up the first time, and the second time she went up but then got scared and sat back down. This time she got right up and read her part...quietly, but she was up there! It won't be long before she's belting out her lines like a diva.



There's only 6 parts for children in this particular play, so the chances that either of them get a part are slim. But the auditioning process is such a great learning experience for them, and they know the odds going into it.

Funny note; everyone gets to read different parts each time. They make sure everyone gets to read for at least 2 parts at the auditions. Then they do a third round for whoever wants to read again. Apparently Colson was DYING to play the Wizard, but didn't get a chance to. Of course. The Great And Powerful Oz. He knows which role was made for him.........
