Way back before Christmas, Kendall auditioned for a role in the spring musical at his high school. He knew as a lowly freshman that any role he managed to procure would be small and that he would be choosing that lesser role over one of the larger roles if he had done the MCT play with the other kids. But since he wants to be a big part of the drama program at the high school in the future, he knew he needed to start somewhere. So he auditioned and he was given a part in the ensemble where he played three roles in various scenes of the play: a little boy in the crowd, a chef at the palace, and a guest at the ball. As the little boy he had a couple of lines but the rest of the time he was part of the singing and dancing, etc. They began pretty much daily rehearsals in January which was a huge challenge and made it hard to keep up with everything else going on in his busy life, and we sure missed him around here! But he stuck with it and had a lot of fun.
They wound up doing three different performances and it was phenomenal! Definitely way higher class than the high school plays I was involved in. Our younger kids loved watching it too. Kendall did a great job and I'm sure will have lots of other bigger opportunities over the next three years of high school. It was so funny when Kaya leaned over to me in the middle of the play and said: "I'm really glad that they didn't make Kendall the prince because I wouldn't want him to worry about the kissing and all that love stuff!"
