My daughter recently discovered high school theater. Yay! Unfortunately, she didn't move quick enough to be involved in it more than painting sets and being an usher/ticket taker. But she had a blast. (She was encouraged to try out, albeit late, by her friends but never did for some reason... and then regretted it.)

She has vowed to try out for every one next year! I'm excited for her and glad she's particpating more in school activities. I regretted later that I was "too cool" or not "cool enough" (?) for such things.

By the way, they did Phantom of the Opera - supposedly the first high school to do it. With a grand chandelier that swung down and everything along with some special mirror effects.
