While Anna-Claire started out last year in a pretty high-profile role (Oliver), she's happy to have turned in that hat for the chance to play a girl this year (Kathy Cratchit, Pickpocket). But instead of flying solo, she auditioned with two of her brothers, Evan (Tiny Tim) and Charlie (Orphan, Cratchit Kid).
On Saturdays, the Koop family, including Mom and Dad, can be seen camped out on a blanket, eagerly supporting the kids in this endeavor.
I hope that years from now we can look back and think, "I just can't imagine a Dickens Festival without the Koop family!"
