egacy eighth grader Lauren Eddings will be performing this month in a play called The King and I. Brought to you by Christian Youth Theater (CYT) Productions, The King and I will be preformed at the Nancy Bock Center for Preforming Arts at 3800 S. Panther Creek in The Woodlands. The story is about a king that has multiple wives and children and wants to bring western culture to his kingdom, called Siam. To do so, the king hires a school mistress named Anna Leonowens to tutor his children. The story shows how they slowly start to love each other. Lauren will be playing multiple characters, including one of the king’s many royal wives, Topsy, and the Sun Dancer. She first started acting when she was only in second grade. Lauren says, “One day I
saw Sierra Boggess and realized that acting is what I wanted to do.” Sierra Boggess is an American actress who has been in many plays on Broadway. Boggess is Lauren’s role model and inspiration. Lauren enjoys Theater. “I want to be an actress on Broadway when I grow up.” She has also been in other productions, like Jungle Book, Cinderella, Alice, and Wizard of Oz. In addition, another Legacy student, Jaron Spinler, is going to be in The King and I. He will be playing the priest and the guard in the play. You can buy tickets online at www. cythouston.org, which is cheaper, or you can buy tickets at the door of the Nancy Bock Center for Preforming Arts. So, this October 25-28, when you are sitting at home wondering what to do, go support Lauren and Jaron at the play. PFT
