August 9: ATWAS

My daughter is already interested in acting. Not sure why...or how the interest ever evolved. I mean, I like movies, and I can be quite a character from time-to-time, but I can't recall ever encouraging her to pursue acting. Anyway, we tried Musical Theater at the dance studio over this past year, and she seemed to love that. So, we were planning on returning in the Fall. However, today, my wife found this group called ATWAS, which stands for "All the World's a Stage". They have several locations around the state, and they essentially teach kids acting - the theory, the skills, the art, etc. They set up classes by age, and they start as young as the First Grade level. So, we're going to give it a whirl over the Fall into Winter, and see if it's something for which my daughter has a passion. Who knows, maybe she will become the next Emma Watson, starring in "Harry Potter: The Next Generation" during the summer of 2020. Just as long as she's not the next Megan Fox in "Transformers VII".
