We went to Kalie's school to see her in a play put on by her Drama Class. The cast was all girls. I was worried about taking my kids since it's romance and people die at the end. But it's a classic and I wanted them to see their cousin so I tried to explain the play so they wouldn't be surprised and maybe understand what was going on. After I explained, B was intrigued and said, "I didn't know they made stories that didn't have happy endings." Welcome to tragedies I said.
They lasted the whole play! They had front row seats! The cast members acted it all out on the above "stage" and they moved minimal props around themselves and the kids got to see it all - so it kept their attention. Ak wanted to know "how many people are doing to die in this play?" After Kalie was in a dual and died. :) On the way home, Z told me it wasn't as sad as I made it sound. I think that's a good thing!
Kalie did a great job as Juliet's cousin, Tybalt. Thanks for inviting us!
