"A Christmas Carol" at Hale Center Theater opened last night. I must say that it was AWESOME! I am so very proud of Yakko and Kate; they were truly stellar!
I am not at all ashamed to say that I know I'm oober cheesy about how especially proud of Yakko I am. His solos were gorgeous, his acting was excellent, and he is talented beyond his years. I am his biggest fan and so happy to see his talents shared on stage. It is so exciting to me to see him bloom in such a huge way. This production has been one of the greatest things to ever happen to him: Yakko's self esteem and confidence has grown so much...
It's also been super great to work with the awesome people at The Hale. Everyone, from the directors and producers, to the actors and techs, to the parents back stage and the support team have been awesome. Yakko has made friends that have so very much in common with him: it's been incredible to see the change in him. I feel privileged to get to know some spectacular people along the way as well. I am humbled by their passion for their craft, and their love for their children.
I am so thankful to Katey for being such a great coach to Yakko as well. She's been there for him every step of the way from auditions to the performances. She is brilliantly talented and a delight to watch on stage!
Today our family had the opportunity to watch Yakko and Katey perform today. I love that I get to watch/help back stage the remainder of the shows! Three down, 17 to go!

Yay, Yakko! I'm so glad to hear this has been so rewarding! I can't wait to see it! Love you, Stephanie!
Congratulations! We are so proud of you. We wish we could be there to see it in person. We are anxiously awaiting the video. We love you.
I was SO excited to come see that this year because of Yakko and Kate. My in-laws do a play/concert of some kind for all the adults every year and the last two we've seen "A Chriatmas Carol." I was all ready to tell them we HAD to go on a night that Yakko was there. I was VERY disappointed when they told us we weren't doing "A Christmas Carol" this year. I'm very NOT excited to do what we're doing instead. And very sad I now miss Yakko and Kate. :^(
On that happy note (LOL) I wish him (and Kate!) the best!
