Theatrikids' Stars in the Spotlight: Sydney, Addison & Ge'Leya!

In the Spotlight This Week:

 Sydney, Addie & Ge'Ge!

From Left to Right, Sydney, Addison & Ge'Leya are working together in the Monday "School of Rock" cast, and LOVIN' IT!

Here the 3 of them are at the head of the class!

 

 

 

 

Ge'Leya, or GeGe (pronounced Jee-Jee) as we fondly call her, plays "Katie," the cello turned bass player of the band in the show, and she's written in a special surprise song that she'll sing in the finale number... I can't wait!

Sydney plays "Summer Hathaway," who makes the natural transition from "Class Factotum" (aka "braniac") to "Band Manager" in the show.  Some of her lines are pretty tricky, including words like "anatomy" and "physiology"--but seriously--what the heck is a "Factotum" supposed to say besides the hardest words EVER!

Here, Addison gives fellow cast member Kolin ("Dewey") a hug after he declares "Time for Recess!"   Addison added the hug into the scene, and it nicely portrayed her character, "Alicia" as a girl with a sparkling yet sometimes mischievous personality.  Hey! That's almost JUST like Addie!  What a strong choice as an actress, to put herself into the role!

Check Out Our Spotlight Stars' Audition Videos!

 The above videos are auditions except for Sydney, who managed to side-swipe the audition process somehow.  So, I threw in some footage of her & the rest of her cast in last semester's production 

of "There Go The Beatles!"-an original Theatrikids Rock-Musical! I did go ahead and include a pic of Sydney "Rawkin' Out!" below:

She didn't need any head-banging direction from me--she naturally went wild! 

After we worked on this scene, the 3 girls asked to go run lines in the other room.  I said  that was okay, as long as they REALLY worked on their lines, and guess what I found them doing when I checked on them later...

THEY WERE RUNNING LINES!  So, I returned to the classroom with the rest of the class. After a bit, I decided to check on them again, only to discover that as soon as I had left them alone, they started...

RUNNING THEIR LINES AGAIN!!  What absolute angels!  What model students!  What over-achievers!  It's enough to make a director cry, oh no--TEAR!  sniffle, tissue, oh, I'm okay--Just very proud of these students of mine.  Such Stars!
