So
as many of you know Victoria was cast in The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe in a
part that she really did not want. I
kept telling Victoria something that I have always told my students and still
tell them today after auditions. It doesn’t matter what part you get, it only
matters what you do with the part you are given. Of course this was much harder
for me to say to Victoria because I hate to see my child hurting. Nonetheless I
told her to take her part with grace and do the very best job that she could
with the part she was given. After all theatre also mirrors life. Life is full
of ups and downs. It is full of joys and disappointments. It is not what you
are given that is important but what you do with what you are given that is
important.
Throughout
all the rehearsals and dress rehearsals, Victoria was one of the best. She was
always praised for doing her part just right. The show finally opened on
Tuesday to Elementary and Middle Schools. The audience roared every time
Victoria came out. At the Q &A after
the show, Victoria was asked many questions and was told that she was the
favorite character by many of the students. She was so thrilled that they loved
her. It really made her realize that what we had talked about was true. Last
night was opening night for the public. As soon as Victoria did her first scene
and the audience roared you could see Victoria gain a ton of confidence. From
then on every time Victoria entered the stage, the audience would just start
laughing, even before she said a line, because they knew she was going to make
them laugh and she surely did. She was told by so many that she was one of the
best in the show and that she was their favorite character. Point made: It is
not what part you are given, but what you do with the part you are given that
is important. I think she now really understand this. The part of the Dwarf is
not a big one, but it did become a huge part because she did it so well. I am
so proud of her. It is not an easy lesson to learn but it is an important one.
It is a life lesson.
It is not what you are
given that is important but what you do with what you are given that is
important.
