Ethan's Play

I have always said that Ethan would make a good actor. He is so dramatic, and has us in stitches most of the time.
When the opportunity came up for him to be in a play, we jumped on it. Every summer our local Arts Association sponsors Prairie Fire Children's Theater which essentially comes in with two people who not only direct the whole play, but act in it as well. It all takes place in one week (5 days, actually). Monday, they have tryouts and cast the play. Tuesday they go over all the parts. Wednesday and Thursday they have run-throughs and a dress rehearsal, and Friday they perform!
The play was Tom Sawyer, with a few major changes. Ethan was cast as a 'townie' and had to dress as properly as they would in Tom Sawyer's day. 
That's Ethan in the middle pointing at someone. 
 The entire cast...

 The play was great. Ethan had a blast and it was a terrific birthday treat for me to watch him perform.  And we're still singing some of the catchy songs from it!
