Showtime!

 Showtime!

Shanghai Children's Theatre Festival kicked off this weekend with an amazing, bilingual rendition of Cinderella from four cultures: China, America, Russia & Mic Mac Tribe.

O has never been to a show, of any kind, so we were interested if she would enjoy the 2-hour play. In addition the play involved a witch, so there was potential that we would cause our own scene in the audience! There was a lot of prep talk about how actors wear costumes and play pretend.

Popdorn!

It helped that there was popcorn for sale!

O seemed to enjoy the play and was full of questions, particularly "Where is the witch!?". 

The segments that were told in Chinese, questioning increased twofold!

The grounds surrounding the theatre served as a fantastic play zone pre & post show.
