Grease

  Tonight Avery performed in her first musical, an elementary production of Grease condensed into thirty minutes.  It was a wonderful low key program run by a husband and wife team who go to the local schools and arrange a production at each school.  Avery had a great time, and I think it was great introduction to musicals.  The performance was at XXX Root Beer in Issaquah for a little extra Fifties era ambiance.  My parents were able to be there as well as Aimee, Karl, and Tyler.  Avery was a freshman, and really enjoyed wearing her poodle skirt costume.

Tyler gave me his best silly face, and Emery looks unusually sedate sitting with Grandpa.

Harper also had to give me a silly face.

Here's Avery hanging out with the other two freshman and the T-birds.

This was the freshman's one line they got to say by themselves.

Here's the cast at the end of the night.
