Theater week 1-2!

This group set the stage with flats we built last year for the Opera House. Everyone seemed to like the "Night Sky" design we created so we won't paint over them this year. We are adding a new element to the theater this year- Shadow puppets- a 7/8 ft screen that is back lit produce the stage for the puppets. They're flat, cut out of card board, and made to move using joints with paper fasteners. Students have gotten the hang of making puppets and now we have giants, vikings, lions, snakes, bees, and lightning. KC and Alison are two students who want very much to perform on stage with the puppets. Kayla was great at making the bee puppets but is shy when it comes to being on stage (even behind a screen). I'm sure she'll find something else to do, music perhaps.
