Hansel and Gretel

Saturday, December 26, 2015

All four kids have been working very hard throughout the week.  It has kept them busy since school is on break.  They participated in Hansel and Gretel with the help of the Missoula Children's Theatre. The production was performed at the naval base.  Allison played the part of "Granny", Madison was a "Camper", Parker was a "Rascal" and McKenna was a "Walybird".  It is not your normal Hansel and Gretel, but with a twist; it has several moral lessons.

The Missoula Children's Theatre is the world's largest children's theatre.  It has a contract with the U. S. Navy to fill a moral-based need on military bases.  Two tour directors arrive and they hold auditions.  Rehearsals take place during the week and the production is at the end of the week. They bring with them the costumes, scenery and props.  During the week, the kids, who are in grades K through 12, learn their lines, and memorize the songs. 


Sarah welcomed everyone.
