The kids were part of "A Christmas Carol" again this year.
They put on this play last winter, but had different roles this year.
We also had one backstage with the stage crew!
The three thespians had roles as townspeople/chorus, a social worker, the ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Old Joe, Fred's wife..and I think that may be it??
some scenes..
Bean was the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come..and it was pretty creepy.
She was about 9 feet tall on contractor stilts..the director has bought acrobatic stilts for her to practice on. And she did. For a good month, but the thing about acrobatic stilts is that you cannot stand still-and that would have been really difficult for this particular role. Unfortunately, these pictures don't do justice to the part she played.
MJ had a pretty significant role and solos with Old Joe.
He did a fantastic job
The end and a shoutout to Bean for her part in taking on the stilts and giving that extra bit to the performance.
Cast shot.
This year was tough. Some of the kids who had practiced for months, did not get to play their parts. Pretty much the entire, and I'm not exaggerating here, ENTIRE, cast came down with the flu the week of the play. There were kids dropping like flies between the 3 performances with fevers and coughing and overall yuckiness. They had to fill in, take on roles that they had not practiced, and act while ill! Our little theater group does not have understudys. I give them all a lot of credit-the show must go on and through all the trials, it did go on. They made it work.
Congrats on a great performance, All!
