Saw Fiona in a play this weekend

Several members of the family (my parents, my sister and Delia and I) went to see Fiona's performance in a play at Augsburg. The play was Inside Out, and it was a series of monologues written by students at Augsburg about the Asian American experience. The cast had about eighteen students, and Fiona was one of, I think, five white students in the cast. It was great fun. She had one short duet scene, and plenty of action in the background as other student spoke. The play was absorbing, touching, and funny.

And she really shone during the Bollywood dancing. Go, Fiona!

It was the first time she's ever been cast in a play--she had auditioned several times at her high school but never got a part. She wants to try for another play next spring. She's thinking of minoring in Theater--not a major, because she doesn't think that's smart in this economy. But she really enjoys it.

I think a Theater minor is a great idea -- I developed my fearlessness in public speaking through singing and theatre performance. My brain figured that if I could sing in front of people, I could certainly speak in front of them. So it's a pretty useful life skill even if it doesn't seem immediately job-related. :)
