Drama Performances

Dear Third Grade Families,

We are so excited to be working on our dances for A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  In the upcoming production, the 6^th grade will be doing all of the speaking roles and third grade will be doing either a beginning or closing dance as wood goblins and fairies.  Please note that the dances are between two and three minutes and will offer students the opportunity to participate in a Shakespeare production in an age appropriate way.  We will be doing other activities this month to research character creation, character histories, costume creation and activities that will integrate both writing and art. Our shows will be on February 24^th during the day and in the evening.  Please check your calendar and let us know as soon as possible if you will have any conflicts regarding the performances. We ask that third graders come dressed in costumes 30 minutes before each show.  We are so excited to share this cross-age production together.
