Auntie Mame, on the other hand, can teach all of us an important lesson
The little things in life sometimes aren’t so little. Sheldon Beasley, 13, learned that lesson when his attempt to audition for a role in the wildly popular play Auntie Mame went horribly awry.
In a letter to the play’s director, Sheldon made several references to “Auntie Maim.†Oops. That’s no way to impress the boss, who politely notified Sheldon he would not be invited to tryouts.
But Sheldon’s best friend, Tabby Moore, wouldn’t let Sheldon give up. She organized a political-like campaign on Sheldon’s behalf. Problem was, Sheldon, Tabby and friends suddenly found themselves in the adult world, battling adults on the adults’ turf. With those odds, the kids’ outlook was bleak.
