A Midsummer Night's Dream

The students in sixth grade language arts have been practicing for 2 weeks for this morning's performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. There are 3 blocks of classes, and each block comprised a full cast. The play was divided into three parts with each block taking the characters for their third of the play. Bailey is in the third block, and she played the part of Puck.
I don't get too excited about Shakespeare as a general rule, but I was so impressed with this performance! The kids knew their lines really well and did a terrific job. The costumes were lovely, and some of the roles were perfectly cast. The two directors had added modern music at appropriate times to make the play extra funny.


Bailey as Puck!
Here are the three who each played Puck
These two played Helena and Hermia in the first block.  They were terrific!
