On Friday night, our cousin, Hayes, starred in Briarcrest’s production of Beauty & the Beast as a wolf. Quite an agile and spirited wolf, I might add! Helen Grace was so excited about seeing Hayes as a wolf and, of course, Belle. She sat still and paid attention to the whole performance (almost an hour and a half), and she went running down to the stage afterward. While we waited on Hayes, HG and Hastings had a big time spinning and dancing under the spotlights UNTIL HG caught sight of Hayes in her wolf costume. Her face was painted, and it completely terrified Helen Grace. She literally jumped off the stage and into my arms. Her head stayed buried in my shoulder for the longest time, but once Hayes started taking the make up off, she started stealing peeks at her. FINALLY, she got comfortable again and was back to exploring the stage and props. Spiffer said it looks like I need to start getting ready to be a theatre mom- which is fine by me!
Hayes, we are so proud of you and look forward to enjoying many more performances over the years!
You think she’s excited?
