We are two weeks into our 'Retro Holiday Show' for Creating Arts Company and we also just got back from a mini-tour to Twenty Nine Palms Military Base to perform for the troops and their families this past weekend!

I'm playing Rudolph in the show and it's basically a bunch of your favorite Holiday characters including, Frosty, Heat Miser, the Winter Warlock, Kris Kringle, The Grinch, and of course, Elsa! We sing your favorite Christmas songs and it's really a sing-a-long for the kids and their parents. In fact, I think the parents get more out of this show because all these stories are classics that even some of the kids haven't seen yet. There's a line from "The Christmas Story" that always gets a laugh from the adults, 'You'll shoot your eye out, Kid!'
Last weekend we made our way to the military base on Friday afternoon and then we performed two shows in a 1500 person capacity theater! It was huge! The kids really loved the show and enjoyed meeting us after and it's really nice to have kids not be afraid of me for once ;) They're actually excited to meet me and all the other characters and we took tons of photos. Plus, the kids were so polite and well-behaved. I know we'd love to go back to perform more shows for them in the future!
When we had our show this past Sunday all of us had so much energy because I think we were all still high off of the Saturday shows. It literally felt easy to entertain in the smaller more intimate space at the Miles after the huge theater. There are perks to both of the venues but it's easier to get the kids involved when they're sitting floor level than having to run up and down a giant auditorium (and the altitude change definitely wears you out easier) but we all had such a blast.
