Keith Hershman, in the blue shirt, has been performing in Magic Moments shows with his children for years. Keegan Flaugh’s kids beat him to his first Magic Moments last year. They are launching young Lexi Lubotsky, who plays “The Child.” Her sister, Kate, is in this year’s show, too. Kate has appeared with the Denver Center Theatre Company in “A Christmas Carol,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and others.
