"Salutations!"

It was an extra-ordinary miracle...in just over 2 months time, with most of that time only requiring Saturday rehearsals, our stake put on a wonderful musical, "Charlotte's Web." Christina hesitated to try out, so Wayne offered to try out if she would. He was cast as Fern's father, John Arable, and Christina was cast as a "townsperson/fairgoer/judge." Thomas and Grace participated as well. Thomas was a townsperson/fairgoer, and Grace was Nellie, one of Charlotte's baby spiders that arrives at the end of the show. I took Wesley and Caroline to see the 2pm matinee and we had a ball. There were quilts on the floor in front of the audience, so the little ones could sit front and center and interact with Wilbur and Lurvy. It really was a perfect show for kids and for families.

We loved seeing our 4 stars perform & stretch themselves in developing their talents...they did great & clearly had fun participating. Wayne hit some notes he didn't know he was able to during his 2 solos, Christina came across as a very discerning judge of Wilbur, Thomas obviously had a blast at the fair (& was happy to make a new friend too!), and Grace loved getting her face painted and having a few lines of her own. The little spiders' scene with Wilbur was an adorable way to end the show. I was so impressed with the caliber of performers we have in our stake, the amazing set designed by my friend, Carolyn, and how everyone really gave their best and pulled off a wonderful show for all of us to enjoy. Bravo!

"Do you want to see the miracle?"....

PS. I could listen to this song ALL DAY LONG. I love it!
