Neko has some severe stage fright. Despite the fact that our house is a non-stop production of theatrics and singing, every time school has a performance, she never wants to go.
When I heard about a week-long theater camp happening this summer, I ignored it. No way she would want to go. But then I found out all her friends would be attending, I felt the pressure to sign her up.
So she went. And loved every minute of it. The whole week was filled with workshops and projects and loads of anticipation for the big night. She was downright giddy, a way I’ve rarely seen her with organized activities.
The big night was fantastic. The kids all did great, and were thrilled to get their flowers (thank you Nancy), accolades, and after-party snacks. All the grandparents were in attendance—and a special bonus visit from her former teacher, Erin.
Neko is already asking when the next play is. So, um, maybe Nature Girls have a Nature Theater where they put on plays as well?
