Scrooge

Peri joined a local kids theatre group and was in their Christmas show "Humbug" based on a Christmas Carol.  She played the non speaking part of "Ignorance", a proud moment for any parent.  Also a "spirit" along with another 5 or so girls who wafted and spun about whenever it called for a dreamy sequence.

Two things distinguished Peri's performance:  One was that whenever the spirits had to exit the stage somehow Peri always managed a final spin near the front of the stage before being almost always the last to exit.  Second was that whenever the spirits appeared they blasted a bit of dry ice onto the stage for that mist like effect.  Peris twirled and wafted beautifully, but unfortunately whenever she disappeared into this cloud it seemed to start off a coughing fit.  Although she manfully did her best to suppress it you could see it coming every time she started to approach the mist!
