Confessions of a Pre-Teen Drama Queen

Mary began her third year in drama class this fall and continues to enjoy the weekly thespian experience in Mason City. Last May as the nearly nine-month session of her second year was coming to a close, she enjoyed participating in the Stebens Children's Theatre annual variety show, "Stepping Out at Stebens." Along with her other Tier 2 classmates, she performed a fun song and dance routine to the "Happy Working Song" from the movie "Enchanted." The picture here was on the front page of the entertainment section in the Mason City Globe Gazette.



This year's Tier 3 class continues scene study and acting techniques but focuses on the realm of musical theatre; music videos, singing and dancing, and will again end in a variety show performance. At age 9, Mary is now eligible to try out for Stebens' main stage productions and is looking forward to the opportunity.

In addition to drama class, Mary began taking piano lessons this year. This fits right into her long-term plan to become a professional entertainer.
