Performance Reviews By Adam DeBacker, age 11



The Alter Boyz at Missouri State University Tent Theater
Now through June 20.

The Alter Boyz are Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan, and Abraham. They are a Catholic band of alter boys, except Abraham who is Jewish. They come from all over the earth. Luke was from Deadwood and Juan is from Mexico. (He left his parents and in the band he wanted to find them. Then a letter came for him and said his parents had died in a grave yard. All that time he was an orphan.) And Abraham was from France and Matthew and Mark are in the same neighborhood. At the very last song “I Believe”, that’s when everybody except Abraham signed the record company paper, but Abraham turned them down.

And the strawberry frozen custard (during intermission) is tasty.
Springfield Little Theater Youth Troupe End-of-Year Show, June 23
I loved the SLT Troupe "Our Time" show. The seniors graduate and sing show-stoppers. I knew some of the kids in the troupes like Geovanni Leo, Annamarie Leo, and Marissa Banks and all of the SLT Yes troupers.
