I sent that to (the theater) and they said they would love for her to do the pre-show. We surprised her with it in choir. She is excited and nervous, and she's ready to do this.

When I found out she was going, I had to do something special for her. Because music is her love, it was a no-brainer. My dad, who loves gospel music, went to one of the shows at the Smith Family Theater and said it was great. I researched them and decided to call them one day and we went from there.

Her dream was to be a vocal performer. I've got three kids and they're about the same age as two of her kids, so we've got that in common.

My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn't changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise.

All ages, genders and ethnicities are welcome. If you love the theater, join us.

I'd love to do some theater.
