Columbia Children’s Theatre headshots for Charlotte’s Web | Columbia SC Photographer
February 4, 2010Some of you may know that my daughter will be in a production of Charlotte’s Web with 50 other talented kiddos at the Columbia Children’s Theatre this weekend. She is very excited to be a part of this production and we are thrilled too. I wish I could have been there for all the rehearsals and preparation of the performances but I guess that will make it all the more special when I see it this weekend! I have only caught a little bit here and there but from what I have seen it is going to be wonderful:) Come see the production if you can or their production of Cinderella, performed by adult actors, next weekend. This month they are also having “Cinderalla’s Royal Ball” with a performance by the children’s music artists Lunch Money! How cool is that!!! This is a fantastic group of people and we are so lucky to have them here in Columbia. They have a lot to offer the whole family for entertainment and also offer classes and camps. See their website for more information or to be placed on their mailing list.
So, I spent a little time in the theatre the past couple of Saturdays taking headshots of 51 talented youngsters to be hung on a “wall of fame” showing all the cast members. I delivered those this evening. Be sure to check them out in the window outside the theatre! I am posting the one of my little superstar here:)
Good luck, Sweetheart!!! Break a leg!!! No, not really….but you know what I mean:)

Thank you so much for the incredible comments. It was so fun and the kids loved their headshots. I really DO think it made them feel like superstars tonight!
The best part for me personally is that my sister flew in from NY as a surprise! My mom did a pretty good job of keeping it a secret….I had no idea until I got there. She got to come to her nieces first drama performance! I tell ya, life is good:)
