Ahhhhhhhh...

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, the sweet smell of a brand new show, being rehearsed in a brand new theatre. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Eric Pastore, I play Theo in the new show Children’s Letters to God, and for the next couple of weeks I will take you on a journey through our rehearsals from a KID’s perspective.

This first week of rehearsals has turned out surprisingly eventful. Let’s see, we sang some songs, blocked some steps, and oh... Cooper Timberline (Kicker) went through the solemn ritual of the Milkshake Dance! It was a sight to see. Also one of the many Wonders of the World of Children’s Letters to God was Mackenzie’s (Joanne) playground she drew for the show.

Now, I’m going to tell you a secret. SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Almost all of the harmonies in this show are Sean’s (Brett). But don’t tell anybody, it’s a secret.

Now, please join me in a moment of silence, as we
commend Lily (Iris), who got through an entire week of rehearsals with a sinus infection that nearly made her go INSANE!!!!!!! Ha ha, just kidding, she didn’t go insane, but she did get through the week with headaches and stomach aches left and right. BRAVO!

So, as my first blog for Children’s Letters to God, I would like to say that I am really excited about the show, and I will keep you up to date on what’s what.

ow!

It's awesome to get the inside scoop and find out exactly what goes on behind closed doors at Stage 1. I'm also grateful for the photos because otherwise I never would have known how my son - I mean how that little whippersnapper Cooper Timberline - does his milkshake dance. I second the commendation for Lily, who is an incredible trooper in spite of having been sick for several weeks now. Let's hope she gets the right medicine to kick that sinus gunk to the curb! This cast is a delightful group of kids, but it's the moms right outside the door diligently updating their Facebook status that REALLY got it going on. Word.

More blog please, Eric.
