The Parrillo Family

Eloise has had a hand in a couple of local theater productions - for her school and local theater companies.  But, she has historically taken on a 'behind-the-scenes' role.  Stage crew, production, etc.  But that all changed this year with the annual SMG musical for the middle school kids.  This year they produced the show Frozen (the Disney story) and Eloise joined her classmates and friends in an on-stage role.  Yeah!  She was on stage.  And great!  Here are a few photos of her in her costumes - she was on the stage for various numbers.   I couldn't be more proud of her.  Very brave.  And...if you know Eloise, you know:  she was perfect.    

Welp, we have a star!  Sadie was one of the leads in School House Rock Live - as "School House Rocky" in Westmont.  Eloise - as she did in Annie Junior - was part of the stage crew and did a really great job moving things on and off the stage and keeping things moving smoothly.

Sadie was cast as the youngest orphan named Molly and brought the house down with her line about the Empire State Building.  Eloise made the whole thing run smoothly in the stage crew.   This was the first time the girls participated in a performance of this type and it seems they've caught the acting bug.   We were lucky to have family and friends join the girls in catching the performance(s).
