The reader's digest version

My son is really low key about his activities. This morning I was reading through the end of school activities, and "dramafest" was mentioned. I asked Ev if he was interested, and he said, "yeah, I kinda am. They're producing the play I wrote and I want to see what they did."

"...Producing the play you wrote?"

"More of a monologue really. There's a drama 2 student is directing it."

"You have a play being directed?"

"I submitted it as part of my play writing class. I think they picked ten or so."

"Out of how many?"

"30? 33? I guess."

So a we're going to go see evan's monologue produced next week. Lucky I mentioned the dramafest to him, or I wouldn't have known that my kid -- who has orthographic dysgraphia and cannot write by hand so anyone can read it -- had a play selected for production.

You know, I wish he were a little less low key about his success.

The best part about that is that I can totally see this conversation and hear it. He is one mellow dude!

That's fabulous! But, yes, less low key would be helpful. *g*

Oh, *boys*. *g* That's fabulous, and both funny and kind of cool that he's so low key about it. Except for the kind of wanting to know what it is he's doing... *g* {{{you}}}

LOL

Yeah, a little less low key would be nice :-) Holy crap. Congratulations?

Lol omg I am dying because this same thing LITERALLY has happened multiple times with my son. Just found out his script was selected to be put on by a professional theater company in our city (he's in HS). How did I find this out? Casual discussion of some plans in June... "oh I don't think I can do x because I think I have to be downtown that week..." o_O

How fantastic that your son is achieving so much, and in an area that he might think he couldn't!!! If he enjoys this kind of thing, it's an awesome thing to be involved in -- and great for college applications by the way haha.
