Xander auditioned and landed a part as the youngest (on-stage) child in a recent production of Cheaper by the Dozen. He and I had so much fun spending every Monday afternoon 'practicing'.
Finally, he found a healthy use for his 'lack of an inside voice'. His voice is loud, even when he is trying to whisper. While that can be challenging in many environments, it is a definite asset on the stage.
He loved all of his co-stars and they were all so kind to him! He loves hanging out with the big kids and being doted on - basically being the 'baby' of the family!
He was thrilled that it was socially acceptable to wear make-up!
He had one scene where he had a good deal of lines and loved every minute of it! During his last performance he kept running back stage and proclaiming that he had "stole it", the show that is...
He even had a few friends who came to watch him! He loves Mr. Paz and was super excited when Paz presented him with congratulatory bubbles!
Yup, he has the acting bug, or at least loves the social interaction, applause and encouragement to be dramatic and loud! I'm sure more acting will be somewhere in his future!
