Trevor's Acting Debut

Some of you may remember a post I wrote in August

featuring my son & his first acting class,

& his ultimate goal of being a professional actor.

~

One of the disadvantages of our small town way up north,

Is the lack of options for that kind of thing.

We are, after all, 5 hours north of "Hollywood North"

aka Vancouver.

~

Yes, they have drama classes in school,

but because I wanted him to take a "learning strategies" class,

Trevor was not able to take drama this year.

~

Anyways, this wonderful gal named Sheila moved to town

Her loves are teenagers and acting

And she opened a drama "business" (for lack of a better word)

And put on a spring break drama camp, every afternoon for 2 weeks.

The kids wrote a play, produced it, did "head shots" & practiced auditioning.

~

Some did it for the fun of it, but for Trevor it was serious stuff.

He blossomed & bloomed in the compliments,

And his self-esteem rose up through the roof.

~

He played a grumpy, mouthy, teenaged murder suspect,

which, I have to admit,

wasn't a great stretch of the imagination for him.

But he did it well, I was proud of him,

and best of all....

He was proud of himself.
