A new star has emerged at Tuacahn’s Equestrian/Animal Center, and it’s a boy! Born into a lineage of theatrical greatness, a brand-new, beautiful colt has stepped into the world amidst floodlights of excitement and anticipation.
After an eleven-month pregnancy, the proud mother, Filly, welcomed her firstborn with grace and elegance on the evening of March 26. Although the word “filly” typically refers to a female horse that is less than four years old, this “Filly” is a stunning all-white twelve-year-old mare with an enviable list of acting credits. Although Filly went on maternity leave at the end of last season in order to ensure the new little one’s health, this summer she will be returning to the stage for her ninth season at Tuacahn!
The colt’s grandfather, Dude, began the family tradition of acting on the Tuacahn stage back in 2014 with his debut in Wizard of Oz and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He was a large, black stallion that passed his stately manner and calm demeanor on to his daughter, Filly.
Now, all involved are hopeful that the legacy will continue! Animal actors are legendary for bringing that extra special magic to Tuacahn Broadway musicals, as well as the Christmas Nativity. Will this gorgeous new champagne-colored colt with grey-blue eyes carry the star power qualities of his forbears? Only time will tell!
