Well Zev’s play is history. He had a somewhat main chaacter. He did a great job. The play was at the middle school and it was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. On Tuesday and Thursday he had more of a main role and on the other days he had a minor role – a villager you would call it.
On Monday when we went, he was hiding behind the curtain, it seemed, and almost looked like he was going to throw up. if he wasn’t going to throw up from what seemed like him being nervous,I thought he must definetely be thinking about something else. After the play was done, everyone took a bow, except Zev. He just disappeared. Then about 10 minutes later he came out with his stage make up on and his sneakers in hand. I asked him if he was nervous. I was really nervous thinking about him having a lead part the next day. I thought what if my kid just freezes or something and forgets all his lines. I guess his dad would save him somehow:)
Talia calls Mark her superhero. Talia tells Mark he can fix anything, which is interesting since I have lightbulbs that have been out for a month or maybe a year that are still not fixed… or have tried to be fixed. Mark always tell me though, and I guess he’s right, he may not be a good handyman, but he’s an awesome personal injury lawyer, and handyman can’t practice law and argue in front of a judge and jury. OK, well sometimes it’s good having light in your house.
Now that I have completely gone off on a tangent… in any case, Zev said he wasn’t nervous at all, he just didn’t see the point of acting well when he didn’t have a good part. The next night, in his main character, we were so impresed we started to make our plans to go to Hollywood, but of course we couldn’t just leave Breyer Law Offices and the kids. Well maybe the kids!
It turned out, Zev was awesome in his play and we were so proud of him. All the kids went on Thursday night and the only one who couldn’t sit through the play was Kailey! Well, Karina had a little trouble too, but they all were great. I was a little scared that my kids would be screaming throughout the play, but instead, it was someone else’s child. We celebrated with Zev by getting pizza and having family over; however, he let us know know that he’s never going to be in a play again so our hopes of Hollywood for him are over. Tuesday and Thursday though he was definetely a star!
