Peter Pan – The School Play
Okay so today is Friday and yesterday was my last day of summer school. I was happy to be done because that means I am only days away from going home to Washington, and that Ryan and I’s house closes next week, but it was bittersweet. During summer school I had the pleasure of directing a production of Peter Pan. It was so fun and rewarding and on Wednesday we performed the play for the rest of summer school and the kids parents. It was so great to see every (and I do mean every) student have at least one person there to support them in their special experience on stage. Getting to direct the performance was an honor, all the students in the class were such hard workers and I was grateful for all the help for the costumes I received from the parents. Here are some pictures from the play taken by my wonderful teaching partner, Kirk, who I shared this class with. He was nice enough to come to the play (even though he had the day off) and take pictures.
Here is Peter Pan and his faithful shadow. Everyone couldn’t believe I got the boys in tights for Peter Pan, but they were good sports about it.
This is the crocodile. Isn’t he cute? I couldn’t believe how awesome his costume was. His mom and aunt made it for him. It totally blew me away all the work they put into it. He was the perfect crocodile and the audience couldn’t get enough of him!
Here is the first Peter Pan (there were 3) and Tinkerbell starting off the show. The stars were the narrators.
Of course the pirates! What would Peter Pan be if not for Hook and his cronies. All of them were very funny and such hams.
Tinkerbell looking adorable, she was the perfect little Tinkerbell, and she even talked with a kazoo!
Ou cast picture! I am so proud of the whole things it was a special experience to get to share my love of drama with new young faces. I remember loving drama so much growing up and I am so lucky to get to pass on that love to new performers.
Cheers!
