This week I went to L'il Bits Camp at the Center for the Arts. I got to learn all about putting on a play, and the play we used was "And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon," adapted from the book by Janet Stevens & Susan Stevens Crummel.

There were 17 kids in our session. On Monday, we auditioned for our parts. I got the part of Miss Muffet's spider. I brought home my script and Mommy and I worked on it that night. We read it a bunch of times and by Tuesday morning I knew most of it. My directors were very proud of me for learning my part so quickly. For the rest of the week we worked on perfecting our parts, learning where we were going to be on the stage and picking out costumes to wear. I got to wear a really cool spider costume with lots of legs, and they outlined my eyes with black and drew spider webs on my cheeks. We only had 5 days to get everything ready because today was the big day. We performed our play for our families and friends. We all worked really hard and did a great job. I had a really great time and I hope I get to do something like this again!

Here I am in my first stage role, The Spider.
