On February 18th &19th Ella and Cavin participated in a performance of Shakespeares "A Mid Summer Nights Dream." Ella had done a mini Shakespeare camp over the summer and they did a few mini plays, but this one was the full length play. They changed it to be set in the 1940's during the First World War. Ella was cast as Petra Quince the nurse and very bad director. Cavin was asked to be part of the stage crew behind the scenes and he enjoyed being a part of it all and was their best cheerleader and supporter.
Three amazing women from our ward, Jeri Wyn Mumford, Sharlene Hatch, and Eva Armendariz put together the whole performance and the set and costumes were awesome! They did flyers and shirts and made it a real production. Both nights had a great showing and the second night was packed.
Ella really has enjoyed having this outlet to do some acting as she doesn't have it in her schedule to do at school and here this is a safe, clean environment for them to do it in whereas the plays at school have gotten pretty racy with a lot of inappropriate dialogue and material.
Ella and Cavin ready for the second performance.
Ella's part had a lot of death stares and eye roll, which she has down pat! :)
Cavin's orchestra teacher from school came to support them!
The after performance hot tub pool party :) Such great kids! They did an awesome job! I am amazed by all their talent!
