Here are a few action shots by Aaron
from our tropical performance
of Shakespeare's As You Like It!
Rosalind (in blue) and Celia (Marianne in red)
aboard the cruise ship.
Since we had a class of 14 girls and 3 boys,
we had to change the gender of most of the characters.
Our feminine version of Touchstone was modeled after the Chiquita banana lady!

It also shows how tired I am after 7 week of rehearsal!It really was a wonderful experience for me.
We have amazing scholars in our class.
How many 12 -15 year olds can perform Shakespeare?!
They understood what they were saying and it showed in their performance.
I am grateful for their dedication and for their hardworking parents.
I am also grateful for my patient husband who supported me
while I spent 20 -50 hours per week on this production.
Finally, thanks to my sister Jenny who was the world's best producer.
She put in at least as many hours as me!

I am happy the play is over, but also super sad. I loved doing the play, and I loved my part as Captain Sonia. As soon as Sword of Freedom is over, I think I will write a post about the play, and include lots of pictures! I’m very, very, very excited that you will be teaching Classical Acting Next year, because I love having you as my teacher!
What a great project! The kids were the best actors ever. They had such a good time performing. As Grandma, I especially enjoyed watching the fruits of the labors of many; particularly Melanie, Jenny, Alyssa, Evan, Marianne & Emma and of course all the wonderful young actors.
