A year of Plays

Here listed the plays that we have for done and have planned for the year:

October-December 2011: An adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens.
August-September 2011: An adaptation of the story of Leo Tolstoy, "What Men Live By".

June-July 2011:
We are starting during the summer a theatre camp.

On one morning a week, we will go to the nearby park, sit down by the trees and tell one story of the adventures of Don Quijote and Sancho Panza; after that we will have a small snack, free play, and then we will get to the open area to rehearse the musical Don Quijote de la Mancha. By the time we finish we will stay for a picnic or go home for the meal in case of bad weather. Let us know if you would like to participate in this weekly activity. 608 637 8446.



February-May 2011: 
The play The Fiddler on the Roof: we will have it as a musical, performing four of the famous songs  from the movie itself, and making the script straight from the book. The adaptation as always will be suited to the group of children we have, and the faith we live. It will end with  a violin performance of the song: If I were a rich man.

January February 2011:



We are rehearsing a play based on the Uncle Tom's Cabin from Harriet Beecher Stowe, and including the song "Summertime" as the slaves collect the cotton. The performance is on the 12th February, birthday of Abraham Lincoln.







Christmas:
We have been rehearsing the play: Martin the shoemaker, an adaptation of "Where Love is, God is" from Leo Tolstoy.

Now we are ready to start with the advent season a Shepherd's play, which we would perform before Christmas day, for neighbors and friends. The rehearsals are on Friday afternoons, at the same time we will also be rehearsing some Christmas songs for the Caroling season.
