After two months of rehersals, the opening night for Disney's Aristocats, presented by Pulaski County High School and performed by community children of the New River Valley was on Thursday, April 7, 2011. The actors and actresses were full of energy and the show was a huge success! Here are the kids with their friends Cailin Hale, Delaney Hale and Janet Brame.
After some costume alterations and a day of learning what not to do with Rit dye (I had complications with changing Clarissa's costume from white to calico, but in the end it worked out great!), the kids returned on Friday night looking fabulous and ready for their speaking parts.
Jared was Berlioz, one of the Aristokittens. Here he is singing with some of the Aristocat family.
Clarissa was Slickcat, the Alleycat. Crazy man, Crazy! Her part had a lot of singing and dancing and she loved it!
Amber was Agnes Gabble, one of the gabbling country geese. Yeah, she's the adorable little one.
Krystal was a mouse named Brie, she's the fancy one in the pink skirt.
This is a photo of the director, Jeff McCoy giving a donation from the proceeds of the show to the Red Cross to help aid the tornado victims from the town of Pulaski which was hit by a tornado during Friday night's performance. It was touching how everyone in the show came together to help the community during this time of need. We are so proud of each of the kids and all the hard work they put into doing this show. Each of them grew so much as they had to get out of their comfort zones and work together with new people to memorize lines, songs, and choreography and to make memories that will last forever.
