Opening Nite for "Charlotte's Web"

Well it's finally here...opening nite for "Charlotte's Web"!!! We went on "family nite" which was Wednesday night, but we also went last night for the first "public performance". Talon was at the top of "his game", he is such a GREAT actor, if I must say so myself : ) He plays the role of "Templeton" the rat; a slimy, self-absorbed creature that eats during the entire show, HA! He had the crowd laughing last night, I think that's what drives him, the crowd's response is like what medicine is to the sick, LOL! He LOVES acting and we love seeing him act, he is so good at it! I think it is a great talent and that every parent should applause their child for their talents, as long as they are good talents, hee hee! He says he wants to perform on Broadway some day, so I guess we will see what happens. We checked into having him audition for "Beef & Boards" in Indy, but since they have Sunday practices and performances, we said NO WAY! I sure would love to get him involved in a theater program where he could get paid for acting silly, that'd sure be nice : ) If you haven't gotten your tickets, you need to call RIGHT AWAY as I believe they are close to selling out. The last few performances are: tonight (Friday, 1/30) @ 7:00p.m. and tomorrow (Saturday 1/31) 2:00p.m. & 7:00p.m. The number to call is 765-654-6307. The tickets are only $5.00, so that is nice on the pocketbook.
Templeton eating---AGAIN!

This was his first time to perform, he did a great job!



The press coming to report the "miracle pig" and the "miracle writings" in the web!

Charlotte writing one of her very last messages in the web, before she dies! Before she knits "Radiant" in the web, she makes Wilbur do all kinds of stuff to see if he is Radiant while doing them, such as: running, jumping, dancing, spinning, etc. It a hilarious part of the play to see a "pig" doing all that stuff : )

Kallee loves to go see her big bubby perform and go on stage and see the actors and actresses!

  1. The girls LOVED the show! It's so neat that they knew some of the actors. Kayla loved Charlotte's outfit....Karissa was particularly enthralled with the pig cookies and orange drink. They had a great night with aunt Tami on Thursday night.

    Way to go, Talon!
