[QUOTE="Andy, post: 221453, member: 5096"] I am sorry! Poor difficult child! Let her know that: 1. Even the best performers get stage fright. Mostly because they are so good at what they do. Her butterflies must be an indication that she is very good at her part. 2. Most plays have the lighting so bright that the performers do not see the audience. Then everytime she starts to get nervous, have her practice her part. See, difficult child, you have it down flat. Just think about the story of the play. How much fun it is to be part of that team. You KNOW your part. Let everyone else know that you can do this. I was able to get out of this issue for some unknown reason. My difficult child refused to be in front of audiences even if in a group so I did not make him do any Sunday School programs or sing with the day school kids in church. He reluctenly participated in school programs. Then last year was his first year with a major role in the school musical. It is a small school so all the older kids get major roles. I was so scared about how to get him out of it. He came home one day and was so excited he got the part he wanted. He actually did the best of all the kids!!! That really surprised me that some of the other kids didn't get into the acting that much but difficult child played his part so well. Now I am hoping he gets a solo for this Spring's musical. He is the angel Gabriel for the Christmas program and has some difficult parts to memorize but he has them down pat. Let your difficult child know that she can do this. Just focus on the line and whenever the nerves start coming up, go through the lines again to reassure herself. Ask the company to have a back up who can go on last minute but do work with her up until the moment of truth. Does she know if the lighting will blind her view of the audience? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
