Lagniappe Theatre Company — Local services in Alexandria

My son participates in the musicals there and he loves it. It’s the one thing that keeps him motivated and that he is not just “doing”. The owners/directors and the cast are so incredible that he has decided go for it and wants to put his talent to the test by enrolling in a college that specializes in acting and directoring and hopes to one day do what Karen and Ross do! What an incredible, selfless, humble couple. I can only try and imagine the things that they must have sacrificed in order to have such a special, hands-on, entertaining, beautiful place, where our kids get a chance to to not only work hard and have something to be proud of but to be in a production so well put together with a crew of other kids (some adults), who our kids can bond with and have tons of things in common.

Luckily, no one was sitting behind us because my little kids had to stand on the chairs to see. (You'll see what I mean from the photos I've posted) All that said, we did...

I took my 8 year old to see Moana Jr. today. I like that the parking is easy and the floor surface inside the theater is flat, makes it much easier for handicapped people. The show was clean and lively. Everyone did a really great job. It was not FREEZING in there either. I had on a light cardigan and it was perfect. My daughter and I got front row seats so we could see the entirety of both stages. Her favorite actors were Moana and her grandmother. I loved Maui and Hei Hei. I am excited for more performances...
