My personal favorite part of the evening was watching the kids faces! They were completely captivated! One little girl was so excited to tell me that one of the cast members shared the same first name as her. She was more excited than I can express. She felt so connected to this young actress because of their shared name! The cast also did a wonderful job of making a personal connection with the audience. Another little boy told me that he really like it when, "the guy in the big hat looked right at me and made me laugh. I think he did it on purpose to make me laugh." It was so fun to hear and see the event through their eyes. The little girls sitting behind me talked through the whole performance, yet all of their comments were so very cute.
So here we offer a very special THANK YOU to everyone at the Lubbock Community Theatre for hosting CASA. It is a night these kids will not soon forget - especially since it was the first play many of them had ever seen!
