I wouldn't know how old I
would have been exactly. But I do know my brother Charlie was in
elementary school as well because he was old enough to follow directions
and so was Colin (to a point). Maybe I was 8 or 9. I know my love of
theater was already instilled in me and I also loved performing.
Anyhow, I tell you this my readers because my earliest childhood memory
consists of a fall that would have been my first performance of an
original stage musical. To set the scene, my parents had gotten
together with family friends who had long since moved out of the area.
They lived on an acre of land that looked like a farm (though they owned
non of the animals except two dogs and maybe the chickens. My
parents got together with this family on a yearly basis to pick sweet
corn. This particular year Charlie, Colin, and I were playing with the
older girl Anna. I got the idea that we should take our play and try to
remember and play it for the adults. I can't remember what exactly the
plot of the play/musical was, but i seem to recall that it involved time
travel. And we had fun and the parents enjoyed it.
Funny what we remember.
