Rebecca's Show and Play

Last week Rebecca performed in a Talent Show and a Fairy Tale Play.

The Talent Show was on Thursday night. Rebecca played piano in the Talent Show. She played “Waltz in A Minor Chopin.” Daddy, Mommy and Gabby all went to the show to support her. To participate in the Talent Show, Rebecca had to pass the audition that was two weeks before the Talent Show. There were about 30 acts in the Talent Show, including singing, dancing, instruments and some other acts. Every act demonstrated a certain talent. One act was solving the Rubix Cube in less than 90 seconds. Solving the Rubix Cube is not easy, and to do it in less than 90 seconds is really hard. The person who did it does have a talent. The singing “Slippery Fish” was very funny. Rebecca and Gabby couldn’t stop singing that song at home in the following a couple of days. Rebecca made a new friend whose name was Michelle Yoo. She also played piano. All the participants in the Talent Show received a Star Award. They were shining stars. Just as the words on the stage said, Riggs Stars Shone Bright at Night!

The Fairy Tale Play was on Friday afternoon. Rebecca was a narrator in “Cinderella Visits the Shoe Store and Gets a Pair of Air Jordan,” and Gretel in “The Big Bad Wolf Goes to the Doctor to Find Out Why He Can’t Huff and Puff Anymore.” She made an apron by herself and wore it in “The Big Bad Wolf Goes to the Doctor to Find Out Why He Can’t Huff and Puff Anymore.” She was very excited about the play a few days before the play. She couldn’t fall asleep until late at night. Mommy went to watch the play by herself, which consisted of the following acts:

1. Once Upon A ....
2. The Really,Really,Really True Story Of The Three Little Pigs
3. The Big ____ Wolf And The Day He Forgot His Middle Name
4. Little Red Riding Hood And The Big Bad Wolf Have A Friendly Conversation
5. Cinderella Visits The Shoe Store And Gets A Pair Of Air Jordans
6. The Big Bad Wolf Goes To The Doctor To Find Out Why He Can't Huff And Puff Anymore
7. The Really,Really,Really True Story Of Cinderella
8. The Trial Of Goldilocks

Adopting the main characters in the well-known fairy tales, they changed the stories and retold them in a different way, which produced an effect of humor. In "Cinderella Visits the Shoe Store and Gets a Pair of Air Jordans," Cinderella bought a pair of air jordans for the ball. She then created her own brand and retired a rich woman at the end. In "The Really, Really, Really True story of Cinderella," Cinderella didn't go to the ball that night. She decided to stay home reading romance while eating pizza.

Rebecca was very cute in the play. She memorized all her words. The whole play - the performance, the fairy tale painting, the costumes, the props – showed the hard work and great creativity of both the teacher and the students. At the end of the play all the students stood on the stage for autographs. Mommy got a few from them.

The important thing about the show and play is to do your best and enjoy it. The life is similar to a show or a play somehow. There are many parts in the life: Mom, Dad, husband, wife, daughter, son, sister, student, and etc. Everyone has a part or multiple parts. There are many acts as well: going to school/work, cooking and cleaning, doing homework, playing piano, resting and relaxing, going to bed, just to name a few. The same important thing applies to the life as well - do your best and enjoy it.
