Knowing how well that Tim likes to sing and dance and how well we've enjoyed the Chautauqua Theater's productions over the past 5 years, putting the two together just seemed like the natural thing to do. Jake wasn't in the program this year as he was too young but he learned from Tim the same numbers that Tim learned and you could hear him singing along in the audience.
Chautauqua has a summer program for youngsters between the ages of 6 and 12. It is a 3 hour per day program where they learn about the performing arts and prepare for a full length feature at the end. This year there were three groups of 10 students each. The feature consisted of each group performing four times and each performance consisted of a song number with some dance and short bits of dialog with some dramatic affect. As Carolyn put it, it was the type of program you attend only because you're a part of the family, not because it's a good program.
Boots Martin is the person in charge of this effort. She has been doing it for 25 years and still has the enthusiasm of a 25-year old. Thanks, Boots.
