From Farm to Folger Theater!

The Mountain Laurel Montessori Farm School students put on an excellent performance at the Folger Shakespeare Secondary Festival yesterday. We are all very proud of them all!

Their play was entitled "Shakespeare Mashup" and included scenes woven together from Hamlet, As You Like It, Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

The whole cast received a recognition award called "The Well-Oiled Machine Award" for working together as an ensemble, listening and responding to one another, and clearly presenting the meaning of Shakespeare's texts. 

Three individual Mountain Laurel Montessori students received awards as well.

Many thanks to our guest drama teacher and director, Katie Long.

Congratulations!!

On March 3rd, 2010, Farm School students will perform on the world famous Folger stage in Washington, DC.  They have condensed Much Ado About Nothing into a 25 minute performance. Middle and High Schools from around the region will perform during the festival. 

Students sewed all their own costumes, staged the play, and practiced to an audience of appreciative sheep in the hoop barn.
