The Washington National Theatre and Performance of Annie the Musical Review – Do you need a way to teach your kids about the arts? As a homeschool parent, it can be challenging to learn the arts at home, but with the Washington National Theatre, my kids are able to explore the arts of acting and see firsthand what theatre is all about.
Tonight, we had the pleasure of attending family night for Annie! What an experience!!! Here are few things we loved about the Washington National Theatre:
- Annie the Musical was phenomenal: Annie is one of our favorite musicals. Little Annie was a joy to listen to for the whole family. With live music, stunning actors, and up close seating, watching our favorite pastime live was a sight to behold. We can never forget the timeless songs “It’s a Hard-Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” or “Tomorrow.” We will be singing these catchy tunes for days.
- It Makes a Great Homeschool Activity: Being a homeschool parent makes it easy to take advantage of teachable moments anywhere we go. The National Theatre has so much history to learn and explore. From Lincoln learning of his nomination while attending the National Theatre to Inaugural balls, and world premieres, there are timeless lessons to be learned with my kids. Some of the greatest theatrical artists of all time have stood on the stage of the Washington National Theatre making a great introduction to learning more about those actors and their lives through reading and writing at home.
- It’s a Great Way to Spend Quality Time Together: With school, work, and the rollercoaster called life, it can be hard to find ways to spend quality time together. The Washington National Theatre offered us a way to explore the history and arts together as a family. We were able to talk about our favorite songs from Annie the musical along with the history we discovered from the theatre on the ride home. As a family, we could spend quality time together bonding over one of the most magical musicals we’ve ever seen.
