Newton Middle Drama Club pulls it together to make it a grand evening.
Middle school kids are amazing. I have to admit, I wasn't sure if the show would pull itself together. The melodrama went great. The audience loved it and the kids loved it. I have to say that I wasn't sure if they would even pull it off. With a large cast production, many kids are often not able to come to rehearsals because of illness. This group only met once a week. With only 8 rehearsals and 20 kids, we often did not even have a full cast at the production. Finally, on the day of the production, I stuffed the kids full of pizza and had a rehearsal. Then 30 minutes later, they went and had a great time. The big question is what show will we do in March? With our company's biggest month coming up (January), I'll worry about that one later.
