whats the role and her level? and is she tall?


What role?

Level 2, cast for a role reserved for 3 & 4. She is tall. She's thrilled to be part of the cast, but is a bit dismayed because her friends are cast as party girls. I am trying to reassure her that the fact that she was placed in a role above her level is something she should be proud of. I don't think they would have cast her in this position if they felt she wasn't capable, right?

Yes, this is a high compliment IMO. She should absolutely be proud. Wonderful for her — congrats!

Southeast Portal is still not showing roles? Just a message saying your student has been cast.

Can someone describe the Valley Forge Bunny role? DD doesn’t know what to think about it.

I’m sorry. That’s tough for a young girl. DD was a page, and it’s high visibility but boring. And you have to stay there the entire time on stage sitting on uncomfortable seats watching all the other kids have fun on stage. They should put a limit of two years that a kid can play a role.

I agree this is a tough one. ANY role at the third year for a child—in this context where they are all looking ahead to see what they can advance to—can be demotivating. Donna is a class act, I bet she could help you with a perspective to spin to your DD.
