Last weekend I had a delightful experience. I went to see the Merit Academy Theater Department presentation of Hello, Dolly! Merit is the school that Steven and Nathan attend. It was a wonderful production. Great costumes. Clever set. Excellent timing. Good acting. All in all, a great production.
The cast was very large and had two ensembles, the Blue Cast and the Red Cast. They alternated nights. Steven and Nathan were in the Red Cast with leading parts. On alternate night they were ensemble. Steven played Rudolfe, the head waiter (who gets to greet Dolly when she makes her big entrance/and Joe. Nathan plays Barnaby the side kick to Cornelius. They both did a really good job. Never went out of character and were always entertaining.
Here's a few pictures.

Asking if perchance they might get a day off!
