Midsummer Night's Dream

I got to be a part of something quite special in May.

Daniel Zappi from The Oxford World Theatre came to our school to work on two play productions with our kids. The third graders performed Treasure Island and the middle schoolers A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I got to see the whole process from first rehearsals to final performance as I was asked to photograph during the week.

I also had the unique chance to see Niina perform. This child of mine.. I never thought I'd see her on stage, but she surprised me. And she was perfectly cast as Quince. Perfectly.

I've always loved the concept of a play within a play in this story.

However the best part for me personally was to see how these kids stepped up during a hard week of daily rehearsals.
How some found their inner comedians.
How they all learned that acting is not easy.

And they nailed it.
And I am 100% sure they all enjoyed it.

Thank you for letting me be a part of it!
