Summerland Primary put on an amazing musical production this past week. All the children had a part to play, and they practiced for weeks.
Written by a couple of teachers, the production was entitled 'Cinderella Circus' and told the story of Cindy, a down-on-her luck girl who dreams of being a circus acrobat but faces devious obstruction at the hands of her evil step-sisters. Cindy's chief allies in her bid for fame are mice. There are several ringleader mice, and hordes of helpful others. Here we meet some of the playful little scamps. Pay particular attention to the grey one doing the excellent hippity-hopping, please.
After much family-friendly drama, Cindy at last prevailed and achieved her dreams. All of the players returned to the stage for the finale. Here are the mice in their reprise; they soon became obscured by bigger children in front of them (of course including lions, clowns, dancers, Men in Black, and zombies. Of course.)
It really, truly, I'm-not-exaggerating-because-my-kid-was-in-it, was an excellent show. The kids were all so clearly enthusiastic and having fun with it. They had practiced a lot and knew what they were supposed to do. And for grade-schoolers, they sure had some good moves! A few of the older kids with lead roles even had some natural dramatic flair that sure looked good when given a chance to shine.
Arram was duly impressed as well. Here is how he spent a good portion of the evening.
Back at home, our star autographs his playbill and enjoys some mouse-cheese.

I enjoyed these sweet clips so much that I had to watch them at least twice and ENLARGED to see the darling little grey mouse! Amiri and his mates did a wonderful job.
Arram looked so pleased to see his big brother too - surely he got to share some of the mouse cheese too!
I loved your little grey mouse! what a wonderful production!
