After 8 weeks of activities revolving around learning lines, new songs and dance moves, the Original Kids Theatre Company of London Ontario put on the Fall 2013 show called ‘Squirm!’. It centred around the rhyme ‘Itsy Bitsy Spider’.
This is just up Kylee’s street as she loves to learn new lines, songs and dance routines. She is and always has been a ‘natural’ entertainer who puts on impromptu shows wherever she is.
An example fairly recently was in Cherryhill Mall. There was an old guy watching her, and one would have to say that he didn’t look too impressed. However, when his wife arrived back from her shopping excursion and was ready to leave, he told her that he couldn’t leave just yet as he was watching the show. So they both watched Kylee until she had finished her routines.
Kylee always inspires pride in us, and this was one of many times, so if I was asked who was star of the Squirms show, I would have to say that Kylee was.
Of course, OKTC is not about being a star. It is all about fun, and the players do other activities as well as learning about stage craft.
There are some ‘players’ who don’t always remember their lines, songs or the dance routines, and look out of place, but OKTC ensures that all players have an equal showing, and that nobody is singled out in any way. These shows are as much about bringing children out of their shells as much as anything, and we should be grateful that Kylee does it with such ease.
Was it a good show? As grandparents, we were ALL proud of our respective ‘stars’, as one would expect and hope.
