Spencer picked this picture out himself and the size too saying something to the effect of "because I'm larger than life" That's not the exact quote but it was something along that general line. No modesty there. However, I digress. This is a photo from his recent musical performance at the school. Yes, the production really was called "Beavers on Broadway". The school mascot is the mighty beaver. Imagine the terror of all the other school mascots. I guess it is more PC than some other mascots. Once again I digress. He (Spencer, not the beaver) was one of 7 major characters that the muscial centered around. They were "new kids" at school trying to adjust and using songs from musicals to help them. Groups of kids performed pieces from musicals while the "new kids" watched from a magical stage door and then figured out what the message from the song was supposed to be. Spencer played the neurotic, nervous kid who was afraid of everything. Miky the yawning boy in the picture was the athletic, skateboarding risk-taker boy. The kids performed songs from the King & I, Sound of Music, Damn Yankees, South Pacific and a few others. It was really quite well done. A mom who in her former life was a dancer on broadway was the director. She did a great job! Spencer's big selling point is that his voice carries (thanks to some stellar genes from Oma). He has been in the school play for the past three years and really enjoys it. His loud voice isn't his only selling point, he is also a pretty good little actor. Spencer's group of kids sang "Happiness" from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. There were two matinee perfomances during the day Friday for the school and two evening performances for parents and extended family on Friday and Saturday. Sunday, May 20, 2007

Man, that title would go over sooooo well at the high school! Sheesh. sounds like Spencer had some fun and did pretty well.I'm not surprised about the acting ability - I seem to remember some very high drama and emotion on a couple of occasions. But, then that could be said of about any kid. Nice to see what's going on up there.
