Andrea Sarti - Galileo's little friend...

Dylan has been enjoying 3 weeks of play rehearsals for Galileo now. He's doing amazingly well remembering his lines/cues/actions. I honestly wouldn't have ever thought this would be something he enjoyed just because he's my out-doorsy guy with a passion for bugs and rocks...okay really anything OUTSIDE. So a stage is not exactly where I pictured him spending his time. He gets along great with all of the other cast members - though I'm pretty sure he thinks most of them are crazy! That group sure does have fun though!

This is a picture I took last week while he was in rehearsal. This is a shot from scene 4.
I'm not sure who all of this group is playing but I'll try to explain a little.

~Dylan is playing Andrea Sarti, Galileo's housekeepers son/an inquisitive little boy who wants to learn all about Mr. Galilei's idea's on the sun, stars and space.
~Galileo is the gentleman in the brown sweater and red kool-aid shirt with his back to Dylan.
~Lady on the far left is Mrs. Sarti - the housekeeper and Andrea's mother.
~Director is the gentleman walking off stage in front of Mrs. Sarti
~Gentleman in the army green shirt on the mid-right of the picture is going to be the one playing the older version of Dylan's character. I must be honest - it's a bit freaky how much Dylan favors this kid! Yes I say kid because he can't be over 21!!... But he and Dylan look sooooooo much alike and this was NOT planned durring casting!

I can't remember who the others are, but that at least gives a little info...

Dylan is in scenes 1, 2, 4, 8, and 14 if I remember correctly with 8 being only to switch with his older self and 14 being a different roll as another child.
