This is a special weekend for Logan. It's probably his last play with Moezart Productions. He's almost 18, he'll be a Senior next year, and we don't anticipate him having time in his schedule to do it again - especially since he's started working at Pizza Hut on top of everything else. We have many great memories of him performing in plays in Chandler. He's started off as Snoopy in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Usually the role is played by a big, tall 11th or 12th grader. There's a huge monologue to be memorized during Snoopy's scene where he's imagining fighting the Red Baron. Logan did it perfectly as a 6th grader! He was technically too young for Moezart, but the owner wanted him to try it out. It was his first play ever and he stole the show. Lots of little kids in the audience that asked him for his autograph after the show. He and Adam were in a few plays together, and I know I'll forget a few, but they did The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever, Cheaper by the Dozen, Fools, Antshillvania, all three kids were in that one, the Music Man, Sherlock Holmes, and Seussical the Musical. Getting to know the families involved has been such a blessing. I've made some friendships there that range from deep, close and personal to a "family" feel. We moved away for two years and when we came back, the younger siblings were now on stage, the older ones had graduated and moved on (but still come back to watch the performances), and many of the parents are still there. I've spent many years with some of these families and I feel privileged to know many of them. Watching Logan develop different friendships with the other kids as he's gone through different seasons of his life has been wonderful to experience as well. It's definitely sad to think this is his last show, his last role, his goodbye to Moezart Productions, but at least we'll be able to come to their future shows and see many of our friends, and hopefully meet some new ones.
