Basic Info| Name: | Anne Keckler - Diary of a Stage Mom |

BioI'm 42, married to my wonderful husband for 22 years, and I have four children at home and one who's twenty-four and living on his own. I have always homeschooled, I had my last few babies at home, and I don't vaccinate.
I used to garden, make cheese, make wine, sew, spin, cross-stitch, crochet, knit, and bake whole grain breads. I like to camp and canoe and ride horses (though it's been a while). I've been working out at Legend's gym, and I became an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer last year. But I don't have time for any of that now, because my boys have become performers.
Most of my time lately has been spent helping my boys pursue their goals. Patrick wants to be an actor, and Robert wants to be everything! Okay, not quite. Robert wants to be a gymnast (he competes on the team at Trousdell), an actor (he's been in several plays at Quincy Music Theatre, and can be seen in A Christmas Carol at TCC in November and December), a dancer, and more. Patrick was most recently seen as Little Guido in Nine, the musical, at Tallahassee Little Theatre (a Theatre A La Carte production). He will also be performing as Fritz in The Nutcracker with Pas de Vie in December. So I spend all of my time taking the boys to lessons, auditions, and rehearsals, as well as trying to squeeze in some "normal kid stuff" in between all of that.
I've always loved to dance, so I make it a point to go dancing as often as possible (which is never, right now, but maybe one day...). I like ballroom, swing, Latin, and even CW. I'm also certified to teach Zumba, a Latin and hip-hop style cardio dance.
My boys are performers here in Tallahasse, and their training gets expensive. If you think you might like to contribute a little bit to help out some young actors/singers, please contribute via ChipIn:
