Theatrikids' Stars in the Spotlight: Alex, Stephen & Nathan!

Theatrikids Presents...
Stars in the Spotlight!  Featured this week: Alex, Stephen & Nathan!
Talk about non-stop entertainment, these guys really keep rehearsals alive with excitement!  From left to right, pictured here is Stephen, Alex & Nathan, and let me tell you--the laughs never end with this group!
Here are a few shots of us playing an acting game at the end of class.  The object of the game is to act out a word that the teacher has given a clue about, like: "this word rhymes with _______."

Here we see the laughter beginning as the 3 boys attempt to communicate what word they want to act out as a team.

Stephen has a good idea, and the boys pause their laughter to get some insight.

And here we are acting out the word "flail."  Nathan has "flailed" right off camera, and is likely "flailing" at the girls on the other team.

The boys are considering acting out words like "jail" but their creativity spawns yet more giggles.


Here they are attempting to regain composure and think of some more ideas, but alas...
The laughter cannot be contained.  Stephen has buried his head in his shirt to avoid the picture.


Here we have Alex as "Leonard" behind the drums.  "Leonard" is a nerd, but Alex is a total jock in real life.  Alex is also playing the part of "Theo" in School of Rock, and has to kick "Dewey" out of the band.

Stephen will likely be less than thrilled at me for posting this pic, but here he is shown wearing his "Spyder" wig.  "Spyder" replaces "Dewey" in the band, and Stephen plays the character as a delightfully slow & intellectually-challenged guy.  He also plays "Zach," without the wig.

Oops, this pic is sideways, but the comaradary between Nathan ("Dewey") and Alex ("Theo"/"Leonard") is obvious, and they're veterans of many musical productions together.

Although this is Stephen's first Theatrikids production, he and the other boys work so well together that it seems like he's been on the Theatrikids crew for years!  Not to mention the boy can sing!  His rendition of "Heal Me, I'm Heartsick" will make you cry!

The spirit of Rock n Roll lives!

Even in funny wigs!  RAWK ON!
