My daughter is starring as the angel in our church play. “Starring” is misleading. The play only has four actresses. My daughter is the youngest of the four and has the fewest lines. Still, we want her to do well, so I practiced with her this afternoon.
We read through the entire play, with me playing every part but hers. I wanted to see how my daughter would perform the lines with direction. After the run-through, we practiced just her lines. I would say the line, and she would repeat after me.
I had two directions. Speak slowly and speak expressively. She was a champ. If she can pull off something close to what she did this afternoon, she’ll steal the show. “Christ is born!”
