Madison Community Theater. Miss Electricity is electric. Good news muse.

A while back I encouraged my daughter to audition for a local production, Miss Electricity.

This post might contain some unintentional spoilers – so beware.

The story centers on 10-year-old Violet who longs to be extra-special in some stupendous way. She settles on getting into the Guinness Book of World Records and with the help of her assistant (and friend)  Freddy.

Violet and Freddy. Violet wonders what could make her world famous.

I snuck into sit with Violet’s mum, old friend and running pal, Stephanie Dickson.

Violet is picked on for her dreams of worldwide notoriety and isn’t that interested in her studies.

As the fates would have it,  Violet gets struck by lightening not once, but twice and becomes convinced she can control anything electric-powered.

Is Emily Dickson the cutest thing or what? I mean is Miss Electricity the cutest thing or what?

Artistic Director Kathleen Bryant mans the boards. (Isn't that theater lingo?)

Well, seems like a lot of Miss Electricity’s powers are due to the help of her friend Freddy. So when her supernatural abilities start to fail, she is transported to the wisdom of the ancients.

Zeus. (Monte, I don't think I'll ever look at you quite the same.)

With Zeus preoccupied, the attention shifts to his daughter, the goddess of wisdom, Athena.

Who happens to be my daughter too.

Wonder how that happened? Zeus and I having the same daughter.

There are moments when your children surprise the heck out of you….

This was one of those for me.

She came out and stood on that pedestal and I wondered — who in the world was this?

Nice laurel wreath. Must have paid some professional florist LOTS for that prop.

I just loved looking at her up there, wondering who she was?

Owl brought Miss Electric back home.

The production ended with, what else…the Electric Slide. They were dancing in the aisles.

At least I was. Till the usher asked me to sit down.

There was an older cast who performed tonight…

This cast will have a matinee at 2 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday. And another show tomorrow night at 7 p.m.

I loved it.

For five dollars, how can you beat an hour’s worth of great theater?

It’s electric.

She's got my groove.
