Ruby Tuesday: Puss n Boots
My daughter was part of the Middlesex Theater Camp show last Friday that presented “Puss in Boots.” In this scene, Tom has inherited the cat, while his sisters have inherited gold and land. He also has a flock of orphans under his guardianship.
Whenever this “lady” in purple opened her mouth to sing, the other actors yelled “No, DON’T SING!” Do you know which one is my daughter?
It seems that the talking Puss really wants to be a musketeer, like those pictured in this photo.
One final note: going to theater camp was a big adventure for my daughter. She was with people that are from different backgrounds than her own. One neat little skit that she put on for open mike (just for the other campers and the counselors) was with one of her friends that she knows from her ballet class. On their own the two made up this skit in which one talks in Ukrainian and the other (my daughter) talks in Hebrew. Neither understand each other, but then they finally figure out that they both know English. I was very proud of her for doing this skit and for telling me about it.

Lovely photos. I think I have spotted her in the second photo.
Ellie says
Is she the one with the blue scarf?
leoraw says
Yes, she had the same costume as last week's show.

They all seems to be having such a good time.
I feel warm and happy inside by watching.
The more good and inspiring thing we can feed our children with, the better hope I have for a good future for everyone; young and old.

Pretty wonderful.
G6 says
Great shots (I always seem to have trouble with stage shots... the lighting always gives me trouble).
And thanks for remembering who inspired the little red lighthouse shots (though hers were admittedly much better) just last week!!
Dora says
The King is so handsome! And the cat is soooo cute. :D
Ralph says
our kids were in many a theater camp when they were younger. They were enthused and ready for the acting challenge. This looks like a fun and special production, and your daughter will have such memories (our daughter still remembers all the colors of Joseph's Amazing Dreamcoat from their 1999 theater camp, and she is 20 now...)
leoraw says
That's neat, Ralph. I told her she will remember the songs she worked on memorizing for this play when she is 45 years old.
Carletta says
Your lovely children are certainly having a fun-filled summer Leora! Such wonderful experiences for them.
The soldiers red hats were a perfect choice for RT!
I remembered G6's post too. I guess Mary didn't see it because I thought for sure it would be a thumbnail shot this week. :)
Marites says

Happily Retired Gal says

Louis la Vache says
What a smile-inducing series of photos!
Miranda says
Aww so cute, great idea!
Jim says
Leora, you have a very creative daughter. Thanks for the run down of the "Puss in Boots" play. Mrs. Jim could relate to it, she inherited a dog (Katrin on my blog) this year!
Happy RT,
..
luna miranda says
i enjoyed the photos...love the red hats and costumes.
Robin says
What a wonderful experience for your daughter - both the camp itself, and no less importantly the exposure to people and ideas that are new and different.
Batya from Shiloh says
What a special experience.
One summer we went to the states and put the girls in the public school camp. They did fine. Most snacks were kosher. I had to get them sneakers, since as Israelis of the '70's they only had sandals in the summer.
leoraw says
It helped that she went with a friend who also keeps kosher. They explored the campus store and hechkshers together. There was a girl one year older who pointed out some hechkshers to them; they ended up having an interesting discussion about the "triangle K" - who holds by it (not exactly factual, but it was just a discussion).
Martha says
Wonderful photos. I did not remember the story of Puss n Boots!

BTW - the effect I used on 'Uncle Peter's' photo for summer stock was a cartoon effect from Kodak Gallery software - it's can be fun
