Yesterday was Corwin’s school play. They had to perform it three times, once for the younger kids at the school, once for another school’s little kids, and once for the parental units. Just to make it extra special, the gymnasium in which the play was performed is not air conditioned and it’s been the warmest this week that it’s been all spring. I remembered to change in to shorts and a light shirt, which turned out to be a good choice.
The play was Cinderella — there does seem to be a bit of a trend toward plays that emphasize female leads, but the important thing is that there are still speaking roles for boys, and most importantly, for Corwin. I had been told that he had only one line, but he in fact had three. All delivered with the style and panache you expect from Corwin. He played the Herald, who along with the Arch-Duke, served as staff to the Prince. They were the unlucky one sent out to interact with the feet of all of the women in the kingdom. Surely a task that tries their soles. Haha, must stop before I write something about slippery characters, because that would be wrong. Yes, indeed.
Everything went well. The play seemed much shorter than previous years, everything finishing up within 30 minutes, which seemed quite speedy to me. I spent the whole time standing on a chair in the back taking pictures, which let me use my cool new external flash charger. It was great. The play was good too.
