It is amazing to watch these kids in action. We have four plays under construction right now, each group with their own distinct personality. I came in with boxes and bags and bags and a few more boxes of other people's "junk". Each group - with their play in mind - have sifted through and created the most amazing costumes, masks, and props for their shows! They have a giant named Thrym - who was at one time some bamboo, cardboard, sheets, and raffia. They have a huge sun mask made from computer boxes, newspaper, and old wrapping paper. They have Greek tunics sewn (by them) of old sheets and ribbon. And they have medieval capes and hats made from old unwanted fabric. They sewed it, paper mached it, taped it, and tied it. I can tell how proud they are of their work just by the fact that they always want to wear their costume to march down to the stage and show off what they made to everyone else at the end of the day.
All of this from other people's junk. Bravo kids! Bravo!
