TLC Players 2015 Musical Production: Hello Dolly!

The TLC Players always do a great job--amazing actually--of bringing top notch musicals to the Nashville area.  The TLC Players are made entirely out of 7th-12th grade homeschoolers (but, oh please, this is NOT your typical high school musical!!).  We've seen their productions in the past, and find ourselves thankful and amazed that we are now part of their homeschool cooperative community.  In December of last year, the girls both auditioned for the TLC production of Hello Dolly.  After many nervous days awaiting the audition results, word came that Belle would play Mrs. Rose and Moo was placed in the role that she had hoped for: Mrs. Irene Malloy (think "Ribbons Down My Back", for those familiar with the play).  


Rehearsals started in January...and the production was over the weekend of March 20-21, 2015.  I should note that there were rehearsals cancelled due to freezing ice and snow...and a couple key folks missed several rehearsals due to injury and family emergencies.  I note this because the production was just as perfect as if they had been rehearsing without incident for months and months.  I am so proud of this group of kids and their directors.
