Grace in the Academy of Music "Nabucco" September 2013

The Academy of Music was looking for kids for the Opera called "Nabucco". I loved this opportunity as it would be a chance for Grace to be around Italian Music and opera. She fit the role and was an Extra in the Opera. You can see her here dressed as a Hebrew girl along with her friends. 

Grace in an Internet Commercial - Rainforest Alliance.

After Really Rosie, we didn't have much of a break as Grace got a part as part of an Internet Commercial. This is for the company called Rainforest Alliance. You may have seen the commercial where the theme is to follow the frog. The theme is to be environmentally smart in your purchases.  Check out the commercial and you can see Grace as the little girl who knows more than her dad when it comes to environmental issues. Of course this is just a fictional account of our relation. Above Grace on the set during the shoot. It was a great experience.
