in his school’s performance of:

delivered by such a playful and passionate troupe.

What a treat for you and know you were/are very proud.
I remember having a small part in Mrs. McThing during my senior year. I just remembered it after reading your post. Hadn’t thought of it for years.

Congrats! Standing on stage and performing takes “guts” (to use an unsophisticated word). I feel the same when my granddaughter performs in her acro(batic) ballet competitions. I would have been cowering in the corner! Peter Falk’s success was showing little emotion in his fun TV mysteries, probably not appreciated by his “theater teacher” at the time. :-)

Watching school productions are great. Kids put so much imagination and care into it with the limited resources they have, so it’s often even more creative. Congrats to your grandson!

It does my cynical old heart good to know that kids still do Shakespeare. There’s hope for the future after all.
Many years ago my youngest daughter played Helena in AMND and it was so good I went to all three performances. :-)
