I couldn’t be more proud of my boy – Trey worked hard and got the part of Flounder in Bainbridge Performing Art’s production of The Little Mermaid.  He has a pretty big role, lots of dancing and even a solo.  He is the only kid in the whole cast!   I just love watching him do what he loves to do.
   I have to say, my favorite part of it is that he once again shares the stage with Myriah Riedel (she was Peter Pan and he a Lost Boy and now she is Ariel).  He absolutely adores her and it is perfect for Flounder’s relationship with Ariel.  I think the audience can really feel how much he cares.  It’s very sweet.  Ah, to be 10 with a crush.
It’s a super fun show – the bright costumes and catchy songs.  I’ve been singing them in my head for weeks now.  It runs through Memorial Day weekend (Friday and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 3 plus a bonus show Monday, May 23rd at 7:30).  I will be ushering this weekend and would love to have company, plus Trey loves seeing people he knows at the show!  It’s great for kids, too!
Tickets are available at the Bainbridge Performing Arts website.
