Some eight weeks ago, Kylee joined the OKTC.
Every Monday after school, she attended rehearsals and, as always, put her all into it.
The first that we knew was a sudden burst of singing to a CD she fed into her computer.
The show, a musical, was called Lemonade!, a theme repeated throughout, but was based around a number of popular short stories and rhymes, including the Three Little Pigs, Chicken Little, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Bo Peep and many others.
Kylee’s part was Little Miss Muffet.
Did she do well? Kylee is a ‘natural’ performer who takes her audience seriously. She aims to get it right, and always does. She remembered her lines, remembered the songs, the steps and movements, her placing on stage, the whole nine yards.
Of a cast of twenty one, she was one of four who shone, and being biased I guess, she was the brightest of the four. Even other members of the audience thought it, so my bias is vindicated somewhat.
Will she be appearing in the OKTC again? This we don’t know. She had friends in the troupe who may be moving to a more ‘drama’ based company, but whatever, she will no doubt shine again, no matter what the ‘company’.
I have one photo, taken on a less than professional cellphone camera which shows Kylee (centre front) and her great friend Andie (left front).
