Mike, Liberty, and Adleigh again took to the stage to tell the beautiful story of a Christmas Carol and the magic of having love in your heart.

I am so proud of Liberty for working through anxiety and stretching herself, of Adleigh for expressing her heart and for being a good sister to Liberty and the two more girls she has gained along to way (Tessa and Kora) and of Mike for giving so freely of his time to his girls. What a gift!

It’s a family affair as always—thanks to Canton and friends for ushering as I helped backstage.

Neverland

Canton stars as “John Darling” in the JHS production of The Neverland Project. While the production is funny and an interesting twist on the classic Peter Pan, I am in awe of Canton’s dedication and perseverance. He juggles six AP classes (a FULL college load, if you will), plus his commitments to choir and Latin, all while progressing through VHSL state competition with “Mother of Exiles” which still is rehearsing and performing.

Thankfully Friday was snow day so he could sleep. As a reminder, he was dealing with the flu just two weeks ago through the talent show and super regional competition. When I say he gives everything, he literally does. Always in awe of him!

Soooooo proud of Canton and JHS Theatre! This weekend was the Virginia Theatre Association conference where JHS competed against 34 other schools to see who represents Virginia at the Southeastern Theatre Conference in March. Jamestown presented their Harvey Stone Original Play “Mother of Exiles”. Canton plays Joseph Pulitzer, who was vital to securing the funding for the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. The place centers on the “ colossus” poem on the Statue of Liberty written by Emma Lazarus.

Canton placed second in Musical Theatre Solo and won the All Star Cast Award! He continues to shine and excel and we just love him so!

Headed to SETC in March!
