A Star is Born

What an amazing Saturday we had.  Noah has been talking about the
Jimmy Awards for a year or more.  He missed them last year (Ben and Mel
were married that day!) so he was determined to get there this year.
Then he was nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" for his role
in "Shrek the Musical" where he played Lord Farquad! His dear friend were nominated
as well... Sweet Gabby for Best Actress as Fiona, and Thayne for Best Actor for Shrek!
They all did wonderful!!
We weren't sure we were invited, but decided to get tickets anyway.
We are SOOO glad we were there!

 The Utah High School Musical Theater Awards were held at Utah State University and were put on by Michael Ballam and his daughter Vanessa.  Noah spent the day in workshops, worked one on one with Michal Ballam, and rehearsed a number with the other 9 finalists from all over the State.  It was a humbling experience and he loved every minute!  It was so much fun to see a number or two reprised from the show they put on last November!
 Noah had fun performing a medley with all those nominated in his category...

He was so impressed with all the talent!
Gabby and Thayne performed in medley's as well! They were amazing! So proud of them all!

It was amazing when they announced Noah as the winner of Best Supporting Actor! We were so excited for him!  He was so humbled and grateful! I don't think he realized we were there when I received a text (before we saw him)... "Mom, I won!"
We are so grateful we were there! What a night!



 He earned a $1000 scholarship, too!
Such sweet friends...

Sorry the video is so bad...
I was shaking so hard and nearly dropped the camera!...
