ANNIE!

DA auditioned for a part in the Zilker Hillside Production of Annie last Saturday. She managed to get a callback on Sunday. I was immensely proud of her. Just to get a callback was a great accomplishment. The next few days were tense at our house to say the least. If anyone mentioned the audition to her they were likely to get their head bitten off! She knew that the competition was tough, and that few people get the opportunity to do a show like that, but she's wanted a part in THAT show on THAT stage since she was about 5-years-old. She's been telling me since she was 2 that she was going to be an actress on a stage. This is a life-long dream (though the life is only 15 years and 8 months old).

Yesterday she got a email saying that she's got a part....DA is officially an orphan. Rehearsals start in May and the shows runs July 9 through August 15. Twenty-three shows! And one is on her birthday! This is going to be the hardest, bestest summer of her life.
