Play Audition

A little background. I took the kids to see a play last year put on by the University of Utah's Youth program. It was "James & The Giant Peach". We all enjoyed it. Lex has always had an interest in acting. So, when I received an email about upcoming auditions for their spring play, I asked Lex if he wanted to try and he was all for it.

There was only a 10 day notice given, so we hurried and picked out a monologue and he's been practicing everyday. The memorization part came really quick. And so he really worked on speaking clearly, not so fast, and his movements. He chose his lines from "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs". It's something he enjoys and was easy enough for a first time audition.

I'm pretty sure Shane & I were both 10x more nervous than Lex was.
