Every year, Mr. McCoy, the director of the local highschool drama department, produces and directs a play in which grade schoool and middle school kids are cast in all the parts. With the help of his advanced drama class students as assistant directors, they guide and lead these kids into performing quite a wonderful show. This year, they performed Disney's stage performance of The Jungle Book. Cailin was cast as one of six girls to play Kaa, the snake. Delaney was cast as an old monkey--who, introducded King Louie to all the stage and world.
They loved learning the music and dance moves...and especially enjoyed making new friends and meeting up with friends from last years performance.
The kids were divided up into two casts. When Cailin wasn't Kaa, she became an elephant in the jungle brigade. Delaney remained a monkey for all four showings of the play.
Here's Delaney, with Mogli (Jared Mattson) and the other monkeys telling us all about King Louis need for the "red flower" (fire)
The entire cast! What a wonderful job. The auditions and practices begin in February and culminate mid April with the performances. Towards the end the schedule gets to be a bit busy, but we wouldn't miss it. What an opportunity for us all.
With our friends the Mattsons...Krystal and Amber were bees. Clarissa was also a part of Kaa for the opposite performances that Cailin was in...she too, once the Kaa song was over became an elephant for the remainder of the night.
Groovy man....crazy, just plain crazy fun!!
