Seven Supermans

Cook was in a Shade Tree show called Seven Supermans in July 2009 (at age 8). It was based on the old Seven Samurai movie. He played a character named Carl, and he had quite a few lines. He memorized them all before I even got around to helping him...
Cook did a good job staying focused through a zillion rehearsals and what? 4 or 5 performances? After the final performance, which was a Sunday matinee, I was waiting for him in the lobby while (I thought) he was changing out of his costume. Turned out he was "doing tricks" on the stage and busted his head open. So we had an emergency room visit where they put some neosporin on the cut and wrapped him up...like this?!? It started falling off by the time we got back to the car. Crazy kid!
