This year, Mont’ Kiara International school’s play was Mulan Jr. Madeline had months of rehearsals to prepare for her ensemble (singing) part which had her up on stage in numerous scenes for three days of performances. It was the biggest stage production Madeline has ever taken part in and it was a huge success. Madeline groaned over the long hours of rehearsal, but the final result was very enjoyable. I watched it all three days ; ).
The lead character, Mulan, was a 6th grader and had a beautiful voice and was very poised. Other roles went to kids from other Middle and High school grades. Parents took lead roles in the costuming, makeup, staging, and concessions. I lucked out and worked two days of concessions, selling pizza, popcorn, juice, cookies, and my favorites-brownies (that I made) at intermission.
