As we entered, we realized the boys were highly out numbered and we smiled at all the young ladies dressed up as princesses. Apparently they all understood there would be audience participation; a detail we had missed.
First, they asked for six girls to volunteer to play the "Wise Women" and then they asked for one boy. To our delight, they picked my beautiful Thespian Jared! He was to play the young Prince Lester. He was rather thrilled too.
He did a wonderful job with his facial expressions; the couple in front of us even took the time to complement his performance. He even did a little ad-lib when they threw way his "horse" and he said "You can't treat Poppy that way!" and the other actor had to ask "Whose Poppy?" and Jared said "My horse."
Mae and I kept looking at each other and smiling throughout the play, it was a truly delightful rendering of the old classic. All the kids enjoyed it as well.
Unfortunately, they did not allow any photography during the show but we did get to take pictures with the actors after the performance. Above is Jared is with Princess Rose and below with the older Prince Lester.
