LHOTP Drama Camp

Last week I taught at Family Theatre's Drama Camp. We had 39 kids from 10-4 Mon-Thurs and all day Friday. Friday night we performed Little House on the Prairie. We divided the kidsinto 4 classes and rotated them throughout the day-- blocking/drama, crafts, square dance, interpretive movement, games and then of course snacks and lunch and (structured) free time. It went really well, and the performance was great. Each class did 2 or 3 scenes, a square dance and an interpretive movement praise and worship song. Spenser was the assistant for the youngest group. They had 9 kids, mostly between the ages of 3 and 6. One teenager with Downs was in their group-- she was Mrs. Oleson and she was terrific. Spenser was Pa. Sydney was Nellie and Macy was "Lucy" a friend at Nellie's party. (We had to rewrite a little to include all the kids.) I was very proud of the level of maturity Spenser displayed-- he was a great help to Mrs. Anne and cleaned and worked hard every day. My group was ages 7-10, and they were great. We had a really good time. Reed helped me a couple of days, but she also got to go camping and swimming with a friend of mine. She was excited about that. And at the end of next month, we are all doing Box Car Children, which is Reed's favorite!

I am submitting this as my Pass the Torch post for this week. I am so proud of all of these kids for the hard work they did and the great attitudes they displayed. We didn't really have any major discipline problems, and the days were really long and intense. |
