Emersyn and her friends, Bella and Hayden, joined the children’s community theater production of Cinderella. The theater production group was Shanghai LeRan Art Centre. The girls practiced every Saturday morning from 9-12 in Jinqiao for about four months. Finally, it was show time. Two shows were held at Dulwich school theater on May 31 and June 1 at 2:30pm. On Sunday, it was pouring rain!

We found a plain white wall in the school hall to take these photos…they came out great.

Emersyn’s magic wand is a special wand made by Aunt Nancy when she was 2! It was made with love and made strong as both girls have played with it for the past 12 years.

Here are the clips from Emersyn’s performance:
