We knew how special Merrily We Roll Along was this past fall. It was a bonus to have the show recognized at the IRNE Awards and Elliot Norton Awards. And for Brendan and Cameron to be nominated for an IRNE award for Promising Young Performer.
Both awards nights were so much fun – especially for Bren to get dressed up and catch up with lots of friends. He is so lucky to have such a great community. And Boston is so lucky to have such great theater.
We are very lucky that the kids have such great exposure to music through school and outside school activities. We were sure to include musical activities when they were younger and its great to see that they have continued.
Aidan had his spring music concert at Latin School. He plays the trombone in the 7th grade band. This year the concert honored alum Leonard Bernstein on his 100th birthday. Here are links to his performances.
Brendan had his show choir concert, he is in Junior Show Choir.

We love seeing the boys perform and hope music continues to be part of their lives.
Bren woke up on the Wednesday of April vacation to a big surprise- balloons and a gift bag. In the gift bag was a shirt “On Wednesdays We Wear Pink.” That was how he found out he would be going to New York for the day to see Mean Girls with Chris.
Chris ordered pink sneakers for himself and watched the movie to prepare. They took the bus and arrived for the matinee. A friend arranged a surprise backstage tour after the show as well! Bren had an awesome day!
