Hansel and Gretel and our little Wallybird!

Erica was in a performance of "Hansel and Gretel," put on by Missoula Children's Theater. They do an amazing job of coming into a community and putting on a full production in one week's time! Erica auditioned on Monday and was cast as a Wallybird. Wallybirds collected the cookie crumbs in the forest! The performances took place on Friday and Saturday nights!

Here are Caroline (with Baby Christina) and Kyle waiting for the show to begin!

Erica was chosen as Wallybird #1! She is the first to run out on stage and also the one to go under the Wallybird bridge at the end of this video.

The Gingerbread Men - they were pretty cute!

The plot of this show took a twist when we discovered that the witch was really a vegetarian looking for children to help her work in her garden!

Here are the Wallybirds leading the campers off stage.


This was at the end of the show with the entire cast on stage. Erica is the Wallybird on the left.

Here's a video clip of the entire group singing "Veggie Stew!" Erica walks in and is on the far left.

The Wallybirds!

Here is Shawna, one of the tour directors (who was also Cousin Wally, Granny Wallena, and Big Wallybird) with our little Wallybird!

Here's a snippet of another song, "Slow Cookin" that has a catchy tune.
