Sam the Fork

We convinced Sam to participate in a theater program this summer, and by convinced I mean bribed with a new video game.  He wasn't too sure about it but he has several friends doing it also.  When he went to audition he was convinced that he would not be able to do this and that the video game was not worth being in the production.  Well, three and a half weeks later and he is loving it.  He even said he might consider doing it again, depending on what play they do next year.

This year it is Beauty and the Beast Jr.  Sam is a fork and a villager.  We have pictures of the fork costume because he likes this costume the best.  I went and saw the play, it was awesome.  Nicely done, especially when you consider it is 67 kids age 8-18 doing the whole thing.  The funniest thing to me is that the fight scene with Gaston and the Beast is incredibly short, ending with the Beast telling Gaston to leave and never come back, and that is just what Gaston does.  Oh and Gaston wears a muscle suit.  Sam loves playing tag during the production (how else do you get a dozen or so boys to run around on the stage in a somewhat organized way) and there is a ladder in the back that he gets to climb up and down.
 

Isn't that a great costume?  If anyone is interested in going, they are preforming every Mon, Fri, and Sat at 7:30 pm until Sept 15th.  You can contact me for more info.
