I planned to take a break after “Cinderella”, but Santa Clara Players invited me back to audition for The Storyteller in this original children’s show by Michael Antonucci. This role is very similar to the one I played in “The Fisherman and His Wife”, and I was pretty excited to receive the part. The cast is a really strong group of actors, and we have a lot of fun at rehearsals.
“The Christmas Mouse” tells the story of Christmas Mouse and the Robinson family. After Mrs. Robinson finishes her entry for the gingerbread house competition, Christmas Mouse helps himself to the roof, walls, windows, and a giant tummy ache. His parents scold him and tell him that the Mouse family must move out of the house due to his appalling appetite. Fortunately, Christmas Mouse repairs the house, and Mrs. Robinson wins the gingerbread competition. The show is full of cute children’s songs by composer Linda Arnold, audience interaction, and of course, mischief 
I really enjoyed my role, and it’s always a fun growing experience to work with an audience full of kids!
