Wondering what to do this weekend? Got the weekend blahs? Seriously, we know that is not true, but you should run, not walk to the St. Catherine's Ampersand Production of Seussical. It has everything going for it--a great story, I mean, really, an elephant sitting on a bird's nest, the flashy mother having abandoned the poor egg, and Gertrude, the bird with the tiny tail, in love with an elephant--you can't make this stuff up! The biggest plus of all is that you will see our own students present a fabulous musical. Yes, they can sing...they can dance, and they can act! One of my former students, gifted dancer, Emily McDermott, steals the show with her character. It turns out that Emily can not only dance, but she also can sing like a bird(excuse my pun, please)and she has perfect comic timing.
I'm saying it first here on my Fourthie Blog---Emily McDermott is headed for Broadway! I'm not stopping there. Other Roberts' grads were fabulous also--Laney Yoo, Kate Oelkers, Madison Gardner, and Liddy Wade all have major singing and dancing roles, and Senior, Schuyler Guare, produced the whole thing! Do you know Schuyler Guare? You should. She could produce D-Day, and I'm not kidding. Watch that girl! She is going to do big things. How do I know all of this? I taught these talented girls, AND I was in the audience last night. I could go back and watch it all over again!
Treat yourself! Grab the fam, load up the Suburban, and head for McVey for a night of exceptional entertainment!
****Wish I had pictures of the behind the scenes talent--former Roberts' Fourthies, Anna Marie Barnes, Bailey Guare, and Lucy Farrell. I hope that they will come and tell me all about their roles!
Seussical Stars!
