Honk JR

I wish some things I could start at the end and work my way back. Honk JR was hard-- some of the kids were mean. Some were just unruly. Some were just teenagers and good at it. But after all was said and done I got to spend time helping these amazing young people grow more confidence and Make friends. I spent time with super cute Hilary and funny Melanie. We were in a brand new theater. I got to work with my Steve who was funny. It was hard to not have the scripts for 2 1/2 months. It was hard it was over the holidays and a big move. It was hard to do a musical with one rehearsal a week for 2 hours and also try to teach them along the way. It was difficult to lose Aunt Sue along the path. It was wonderful to laugh and see the potential they all had. It was amazing to get emails and cards along the way from the kids thanking me for helping them see their greatness. It was fun to get flowers and hugs. I loved getting to know some kids that taught me about compassion and humor. One of the girls is always helping everyone and took a downs boy with her to prom. One of the girls is a triple threat with acting dance and singing. All of the kids had strenghs and what a challenge to focus the energy and expand the possibilities.
