Theater fun for the Forsyths

The play's the thing...

The past six months has found us very busy with four different plays/musicals. In December, Emily & Dallen starred as Jo and Laurie in "A Little Women Christmas" along with the girls from Emily's book club. Tina wrote the script and directed the show. We performed for our family and friends and also at the "Beehive Homes", a senior retirement community, as a service project. It was a lot of fun and Beehive residents really enjoyed it.

Here is Dallen in his role of Sammy in "Revolt of Mother". He performed in March at the St. George Opera House. The show ran for two weeks. Dallen had been extremely ill in the weeks up to the performance, but got better just in time.


This is Aubrey and Noah performing in "Under the Broadway Lights", an original musical revue written and directed by Tina. Aubrey was one of the stars of the show. She sang a solo "God Help the Outcasts" and sang a fun & sassy duet with Shannon called "Trouble to Spare", an original song by Tina.

This is Cody (right) & his friend, Moredecai. The number they chose to do for the show was "Who's On First?", the skit made famous by Abbott & Costello. They did a great job with the comedic timing.

One of the nice things about directing is being able to put your own kids in a show... so Ivie & Noah both got to be in the show with Aubrey & Cody, and Dallen helped out backstage.

Here is Ivie performing as "Sarah"

She didn't have any lines, but is pretty

sure she was the star, anyway.

Aubrey was the home-town girl made into a BIG Broadway star!

The next show was "A Comedy of Errors"

written by Mr. William Shakespeare...

Emily performed in two roles in "Comedy of Errors" as

Amelia and The Abbess!
She was awesome and very expressive.

Emily & her best friend Emma~

Emily as the Abbess

Unfortunately, the actor that introduced her wasn't as

savvy with the funny English and kept calling her

"The Abyss" instead of "The Abbess"

Who says pronunciation matters?

Emily as Amelia - the mother of twins
She did a great job with all of that funny

English vernacular
