Drama, the Middle School Kind

GreenBlue negotiates with Agent Pink for the release of Molly Pitcher, Davy Crockett, and John Henry

We went to Mr. C's drama performance last night. There were 18 different skits by 6th and 7th graders. Eighteen. The students wrote, made props and backdrops, and wore costumes. There were some laughs. It was what you would expect from middle schoolers. Mr. C's play was about tall tale figures being held prisoner in the future. He was Davy Crockett, with a coon hat and cardboard rifle. I don't think Davy Crockett is a tall tale character, but he appeared in most of the 6th grade plays. The 7th graders had to use Greek gods.
