Our Little Actor

The first grade at JJ's school performed a rendition of the musical, West Side Story. The girls were cats and the boys were dogs, and as we all know, cats and dogs do not get along!


When the musical started, I discovered that JJ had a major role in the musical. He was a puppy who didn't understand why he couldn't play with a cat. He and his kitten counterpart test the boundaries of what was expected and decided to play together.

Not only did I not know that JJ had a "leading" role, but we were surprised to hear JJ sing a little duet with his friend, the kitten.
