Our youngest granddaughter, Jade, has been performing in community theater projects for several years. We’ve been fortunate to be able to see some of those productions in person while visiting her in her home state, and many more via personally-made video clips of plays that her parents have shared with us. Like our other grandchildren with their various talents, we’ve always been so proud of our actress granddaughter.
A couple of days ago Jade’s mom sent us a link to a short film Jade acted in this past summer from Youth Theatre Northwest! for release this Halloween season titled, “The Night Of A Thousand Scares 2025.”
This film is a collection of three horror film shorts starring a cast of YTN! performers. Jade plays the part of a teen girl named Juniper in the 11-minute long “Demon Clown Doll” film that is about her Grandma’s antique doll that possesses those it comes in contact with, including poor Juniper.
Cindy and I decided to wait until last night, Halloween night, to watch the video so we could enjoy it in the proper spirit of the film. What was especially funny is that Cindy, Jade’s real-life Grandma, does NOT like clowns or creepy dolls at all. They freak her out and give her nightmares, lol! But, she endured watching it because she loves and supports her granddaughter.
All three of the short films, lasting about a total of 35 minutes together, were fun to watch. But of course, we especially enjoyed the one Jade was performing in the most.
The film is a PPV and we would not expect anyone other than her loved ones to be interested in paying to see her, so I’m not including the link. But I grabbed a few screen shots while we watched it to share with you in this blog post.
Kudos to Jade for her performance and for all the hard work she does in learning and perfecting her craft of acting and singing. And to her parents for shuttling her around to auditions, rehearsals and performances. Soon, Jade will get her driver’s license and be able to get herself to those activities.
Then the REAL scary stuff will begin, lol!
