ALICE IN WONDERLAND

We have traced our family tree and are now proud to announce that my son Andrew is officially the first singing, dancing and acting Edelblum !

Andrew proved this with his portrayal of Tweedle-Dee in the Galloway Summer Drama Club's presentation of "ALICE IN WONDERLAND." Andrew sang, did a River Dance-esque jig as well as acted. His talent for physical comedy was evidenced by the audience reaction to him.

TWEEDLE-DEE


The four weeks of rehearsals ended with a grueling last three days before a dry-run performance for day-campers. They then had the first two of three performances on Thursday August 2nd at 1:PM and 7. The final performance was a matinee the next day.

In addition to the joy of participating, Andrew made new friends and bolstered other relationships. He is also putting the final touches on a parody "ALEX IN WONDERLAND;" complete with his own spin on the song lyrics. He should have it available on his web-page soon.

SHAUN (center) as the MARCH HARE, with MEDIUM ALICE and the MAD HATTER.

Many thanks to the director Mr. Conover as well as Mrs. Ret and the other volunteers that made this show the smash success that it was. For posterity, I did video-tape the show. So if you're in the neighborhood...the show is fifty minutes BUT you can 't see it until you've seen all of Andrew's 7-hour+ Bar Mitzvah video.
