The week Sammy was born, Gil was one of the lead actors in the Rock Springs High School production of the musical Carnival. It's a tale of a young ingenue who comes to the carnival looking for work. There, she meets a magician and a puppeteer, and by the end of the musical, must choose which one she loves. Gil played the puppeteer, a grumpy bitter man who was once a famous dancer, but now whose glory days are over. Through his puppets, he woos the young woman, and by the end of the musical, they are in love. Gil did a great job! It was a lot of fun for him, and it was a great feeling of success to get to play such a big role in the musical.
Thursday, April 8, was opening night, and my Mom got to go see Gil in the musical.
Dani and I were there, too. I brought Sammy, who was kind enough to his mother to stay asleep the whole play.
This, and the rest of the pics, were taken by Sue, when she came down on Saturday, April 10. She brought her kids, and she, Lily, and Dani got to go see Gil perform in the musical.

That kid really has an amazing singing voice and his acting is a notch above the typical high school stage performance. You Da Man, Gil!
Good job Gil! I would love to see him perform sometime. Hey, did he end up going to Texas? We never heard.
