Carenna's Debut as a Child Actress

Carenna on her 9th Birthday

Carenna Katague Thompson is my youngest grand daughter.( Age 9). She is the only child of my youngest daughter Ditas. She loves to draw and sing, but I did not realized she can also act. I have two other teen-age grand daughters who are active in musical theaters in Walnut Creek. But Carenna's debut as a professional child actress is indeed a surprise. I am very proud of Carenna's accomplishments.

Here's Ditas announcement to all her friends and relatives on Carenna's Debut at the Sacramento Theatre Company (STC) dramatic play “ The Miracle Worker”. Carenna is playing as “Martha”. The play is scheduled from October 4 until the last week of October. If you live in the Sacramento area, I will appreciate if you attend this presentation of the Miracle Worker. I AM INDEED A PROUD GRAND PAPA!

Hello Carenna's Adoring Fans!

So here it is, Carenna's Debut at the Sacramento Theatre Company's "The Miracle Worker" on the MAIN STAGE! Some of you may know that she opted out of soccer this fall for obvious reasons so I was looking for something fun for her to do. We went to Sacramento Theatre Company asking about musical theater workshops and they asked her to audition for a speaking part in the dramatic play. She was immediately cast as "Martha" and has been a trooper attending 6 days a week rehearsals (Tuesday-Friday -4:30-8:30 pm and both Sat and Sun most of the day). Because this is an "equity" house, she was asked if she wanted to start earning toward her equity card?? but I opted to not do that right now...she's 9 for goodness sake! I did have to get a work permit for her.

As a full part of the cast, she needs to get credit for selling a certain amount of tickets, so if you do come see her, kindly tell the box office that you are coming to see Carenna Thompson as "Martha" and to credit her. Come see it early in the run as tickets will run scarce toward closing.

The box office # is STC Wells Fargo Pavilion Box Office located at 1419 H Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 Call For tickets, call 916.443.6722 or go to http://www.sactheatre.org/BoxOffice.html

What Others Say About Marinduque

The White Beach of Poctoy, Torrijos with Mt Malinding in the background The following are some of quotes and comments that I have read in the web from visitors to Marinduque. Traveling to the island during the Easter peak season can drive one nuts, but Marinduque greatly rewards your "penitencia" with one-of-a-kind religious revelry, beautiful landscape and gracious people. From: eazytraveler.blogspot.com A small island province in central Philippines, Marinduque speaks of such profound natural beauty that will not escape the notice of a well seasoned traveller. From: instaurareperomniachristo.blogspot.com I stayed in Marinduque for almost three weeks. It's a heart-shaped island surrounded by pristine blue waters, beautiful white sand beaches ( in most areas) and marine sanctuaries. I have been told it has one of the most beautiful virgin coral reefs. It is truly such an awesome place. While I was there I've seen so much picturesque views that more than once took my breath away. They were like pictures from National Geographic. From: www.myscrapworks.com/mswdigi/

It is with a heavy heart that I left Marinduque the next morning to go home. I wish to thank all Marinduquenos for their hospitality. Marinduque is for sure one of those places you should see before you die. http://my_sarisari_store.typepad.com/moriones Festival, May 26, 2006 My whole Holy Week experience was utterly engaging and can hardly be forgotten. Leaving the island of Marinduque after a week-long joyful festivities is quite saddening. On the Monday after the Festival, tourists begin to leave and the island become once more a place of simplicity, complacency and beauty. I am thankful to the Marinduquenos for giving me a temporary home away from my true home. Dennisvillegas.blogspot.com/april/2008. Memories of a nocturnal walk in Boac, June 29, 2008

It was the last night of my week long sojourn to Marinduque. Eight in the evening, I went out of my hotel room to stroll once more the lovely streets of Boac. The evening was peaceful and cool with a lovely soft breeze of wind in the air. This reminded me that I was in one of the most rural places in the Philippines.etc...etc.. The sky was well illuminated with the romantic glow of the moon, creating lovely silhouttes of ancient houses from beyond, dwarfed only by the lowly clouds from above etc... etc.... It was past midnight when I started back to my hotel room, still photographing street sceneries. Boac indeed is a lovely little town from the olden days, but its evening is even lovelier... Dennisvillegas blogspot.com/, june, 2008. If it's your first time in Marinduque, do not worry. Almost everyone seems to be a friendly guide. Genuine hospitality is what I like most in this island.
