This week we begin practicing in serious for Alice in Wonderland which will be presented June 11 and 12.  Students have their parts now and should be reading and memorizing their lines at home as well as at school.  Many of the roles for the play are double or triple cast and students have a variety of roles to play.  I’d like them to start thinking of costumes to wear and props for the roles.  I’ll have the students bring home a list for the roles in the upcoming weeks.  Also, students will be helping to make the sets and large props for the play.  We would really like to have some adult help with the sets, so if you are interested please let me know so we can start talking about set design.

Reading: Reading and practicing Alice will be the major focus of reading activities..
