Muff Potter

429

Fall of 2007 Christian was 8 years old.  He was cast as one of the "whitewash-the-fence" boys in Tom Sawyer.  He was young, cute, and little.

Fall of 2011 Christian has been cast as "Muff Potter" (Injun Joe's henchman who gets framed for the Dr's murder) in Tom Sawyer. Same show in the same theater. Many of the same props and set pieces.

He's now 5'6", weigh's about 130 lbs.  He looks like a man up there compared to the others.  It did my heart good to hear the directors and production people call his name over and over in rehearsal to ask him to be responsible to put this set piece here and that prop there.  It was good to see him showing the other boy's where to stand and when to exit.

He is the only one of my boys in this show.  He's responsible for all his own costume pieces and paraphernalia.

Where did my little boy go? (and how did he become an alcoholic? Thanks Mr. Clemens.)
