John is in the Drama club and they just did their production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Most of the kids in the club had never done drama before, so this was quite a challenge for their first attempt. Those of you who remember Shakespeare can recall the difficult language.
The way they run the club is all of the participants get to both act and do backstage stuff. John was on the costume committee and he play Duke Theseus in the play.
The kids did great. The play was abbreviated to some extent, but still lasted about an hour. John's role started the play and was on stage quite a bit. He had many more lines that I could have remembered. Being the one with the first words in the play, he started a little nervous and tentative, but by the end was great.
The first picture is the Duke and Hippolyta coming on stage to start the play. The last picture is a very relieved cast taking their bows.
