This is Eva’s 7th year in Young Actor’s Workshop, a unique theater program where the kids write and perform their original play. This year’s play was “Babies.” A mix-up at the baby factory occurs when too much baby powder is added to the machine the babies come out way too big. The oldest kids (middle and early high school) are the babies, and the youngest (K-3) are the parents.
Further mishaps occur when two babysitters are so wrapped up claiming to be the best, they forget to pay attention to their job. Eva is one of the babysitters.

Ben plays in a band that is pretty sporadic about getting together, but they usually pull off a couple of performances a year. The photo below is from the local high school’s Battle of the Bands. I was unable to get a front row seat for this show so the quality of the recording was not that great. Ben thinks it’s poor enough that he doesn’t want it on U-tube, so I’ve removed it. Ben usually plays drums, but this time he sang one song–and did a great job. It’s fun to watch him blossom. Maybe some day he’ll be ready to let me share it with you.
