Mt. Baker's Production of Cinderella

Mason and Landon have always enjoyed being on stage.  They had anxiously awaited the announcement of Mt. Baker's middle school production would be.  When it was announced that it would be Cinderella they were a little disappointed.  Landon decided he would still try out.  Auditions were a week long.  Landon would practice at home and occasionally have Mason read lines with him.  On the last two days of auditions Mason decided he would try out too.  Both landed parts and the show was a great success. boys had a fun time making new friends and being in a cast. 

Starring: Mason as a Royal Guard 

Landon as the Prince's Dad: King Max

The show was double casted so when they were not the above parts they were extra or town folks.  Having two casts makes for two completely different shows, and it makes for two very entertaining evenings.

Dancing!!!

Our favorite part of the show was the "Ball".  Since both boys are in 7th grade and will not attend dances until they are 14, dancing with a girl was a new thing.  Thanks to Mr. Char who taught them how to ballroom dance a little bit.  They did a great job and didn't even seem uncomfortable:]

Landon had hoped for the role of the King, and he got it.  We have a standing joke in the family, that Landon always gets the older character in the play.  It's happened every year, must be his laid back personality.

The Cinderella for Landon's cast was Raylene.  She was a beautiful Cinderella and it was fun to see Landon have a dance with her at the Ball. 

The King and Queen

The emotional ending of the performances.  These kids loved putting this play and Mr. Char is well loved.  It is especially hard for the 8th graders to say good bye to Mr. Char and the other cast members. Landon and Mason are thrilled they still have one more year of these drama productions. 

After the show Lydia, Jacob, and Quinn are happy to greet the performers, and Jacob and Quinn test out what it's like to be on stage.
