Androcles Cast Rocks!!!

Last week I went out to see the show again. It was my first time to see the cast perform on the road. They were at Nevitt School (not the school in the picture) and I watched a performance with about 150 kindergarten and 1st graders! The kids were really into the show - they were laughing and shouting for some characters to notice where others had run off or to warn someone about impending danger...it was really fun!

All in all, the show has maintained the exact performance that we did in the theatre with a few "improvements" in comedy bits throughout - which is fun to see and definitely in keeping with the spirit of Comedia del Arte!

Kudos to the cast for a job well done!!!

Great Drawings from Madison-Simis

We were given some beautiful drawings from Mrs. Coughlin's class at Madison Simi School. As we were leaving the school the day of our performance, we were presented with a whole folder full of pictures drawn by the class that day. We can't post all the pictures here, but we picked three to share.

Isabella sings in front of her house, by Nova.

Brayden picked the scene where the Lion jumps on Androcles' back. Check out the audience!

And here, Kamari depicted the Lelio and Isabella running back to Rome looking for Androcles.

Thanks so much to all the students from Mrs. Coughlins class for all the wonderful pictures!
