I love the mix of theatre and kids. Psychologist say that children can't truly discriminate between fact and fiction until the age of 8. It seems hard to fathom but watching my three year old talk to a puppet - she knows it's not real but something makes her want to beleive. Actually Russell took her to see a school play of three little pigs and half way through my daughter yelled out "Run little pig. The wolf is behind you" to much amusement from the cast and audience She just got swept up in the moment. Despite the very basic costuming and the age of the actors they made it beleivable for her.

Just today, Juliet was asking me about plays and asking if she might be in one someday. I am on the lookout for some of these! She is already interested in ballerina books since she started taking dance this fall--so we are adding those to our list as well. Great post! This is wonderful!
