Tonight was Opening Night for Aubrey and Kayla's school musical Dear Edwina. With all of the hustle and bustle going on around here, I had never even been to one of their rehearsals, so I really did not know much about this play. I did make it to the Kindergarten show this morning, but there were some sound system problems that kept me from hearing much of the show. But tonight, everything ran smoothly. It really is a great show if you ever hear about a production near you. Here is the basic storyline:
Edwina Spoonapple comes from a family of very talented children. One sister is a math wizard (that's Kayla's part), another is an amazing dancer, and her brother is very musical. The family frig is constantly full of their awards. Edwina's talent is giving excellent advice. There are hardly awards to put on the frig for that.
Kids from around the world write her letters asking for advice. Aubrey was a letter writer from Spain who's brother was very annoying and made disgusting noises and she needed on advice on how to not have him make a scene at her upcoming birthday party. Edwina gets her friends to act out these letters as well as the answers in her make shift studio, aka garage.
In the end, (sorry to give away the ending, but it's the best part) her little sister Katie (Kayla) comes home early from Math Camp after people have been mean to her. Edwina gives her great advice and realizes that it's not about the awards and certificates on the frig, but more about the hugs from your little sister and the fact that your friends have a great time being in your productions. The duet at the end with Edwina and Katie as they come to this realization.
As we make and keep sacred covenants and through the goodness and grace of God, we know we will live together again and there will be No Empty Chairs.

That sounds like a really clever and creative play. Is it based on a book? Kayla's duet is great!
