Wow! Sheila’s 1st Children’s Book Adapted Into New Musical!
Joyful News
Last, Tuesday, August 31st, Jordan and I were invited to the Raue Center For The Arts to listen to a preveiw of the musi and script for an adaptation fo my childern’s fairy tale, Princess Shayna’s Invisible Visible Gift!
The Raue Center Team
Billy Seger, the institutional advancement associate, and a gifted and creative singer and script writer, who is adapting the book and writing the script and music, sent me the invitation. Other Raue staff members who joined us were: Richard Kuranda, chief executive director/WSRep founding artistic director, Kyle Schneider, the producing & operations manager, and Alayna Rosellen DeVar, a talented singer.
A Dream Come True
My Blue Brain and Heart were bursting with JOY as I listened to Billy sing the upbeat songs, with Alayna, and read the beginning of the engaging script he is writing. Sitting next to Jordan, I was
overwhelmed by my emotions knowing this was a dream come true! Joyfulness consumed my face, in the photo on the right with Richard, Jordan, me, and Billy!
Gratitude
This new production will be the 3rd mucial performance of my 1st children’s book. It is grand knowing that the production is in proximity to my home, in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago! I am most grateful to Tim Paul, the owner of Piano Trends music store and the Board President of the Raue Center Board of Directors Executive Committee for his kindness to introduce me to Richard Kuranda! I am also grateful for Richard’s foresight and professionalism to recognize the educational and entertainment value of Princess Shayna’s Ivisible Visible Gift!
Still Timely and Timeless Messages
On February 2, 2022, Princess Shayna will celebrate her 25th girthday! It is grand knowing that the meaningful messages in my book have been shared and appreciated by children, teachers, and parents, all over the world. Now, more childern and adult will discover the timeless messages of kindness, healthy self-esteeem, dealing with bully behavior, understanding, appreciating, and accepting other people’s differences, discovering your own and other people’s “Praiseworthy Gifts”, and recognizing individuals’ “Brainbow” attributes and abilities, which continue to be timely, in today’s tumultuous world.
