Corner Brook's Theatrical Future



Well, since this past weekend marked the TNL's Festival of Youth in Corner Brook, I thought this would be a good time to brag.

I have to say that I was super impressed with the calibre of talent displayed by the children in the area. They are so brave and they take the stage as if they have owned it and lived on it since conception. It's really amazing to see actually. I know how terrified I was when I was a child just to audition for school plays, but these children are fearless and amazing. It's clearly evident that the future of theatre here in Corner Brook is looking bright and is in good hands.

Kudos of course to my darling child Aimée who performed in her biggest role yet. She performed in "Hats off to Seuss", and played the character "Usher Aimée" the girl who wanted to keep the stage clean, sans the Cat in the Hat, and go shopping. Of course, eventually she was won over and enjoyed the Cat's presence. She played the character so well and was so proud to see her name near the top of the list of cast. She was so cute on stage, and I just laughed and cried watching her give it her all. I'm so proud of her. How can I help it?

Kudos to TNL for yet another sucessful youth theatre festival production. Can't wait to see next year's show.
