what an unforgettable time
my grandson spent
with his schoolmates
helping to create
an original play in 24 hours
writers, actors, stage crew, director, light crew, props, costumes, staging, sound
it was a such a joy to see it all come to life on the stage.

Think of the life skills they learned doing this production! Perhaps none will enter the professional of theatrics, but group cooperation is necessary whatever one does!
Sadly lacking in many adults today.

What an incredible feat to issue as a challenge to school students! I expect it took a lot of communication and compromise and those are tools they need for all things in life! And parents and grandparents got to swell with pride and there is a memory they can all share together that is pretty meaningful!
