#we've done Shakespeare the last couple of years and now I've had a good conversation with her about the benefits of doing a play

#Huzzah! I had some emails and phone call with my program director and I talked her into switching The Aeneid out for Beowulf!
#(Don't get me wrong - the Aeneid is good - but given the needs of the kids this year I think it would be bad timing and kill the love of
#learning in some of them. We're doing Beowulf instead! Yay!
#And I talked them into doing a non-Shakespeare play for theatre
#Don't get me wrong - I looooove Shakespeare. Fell in love with him at seven years old when my mom read passages aloud to me
#and did many kitchen productions. But again - it's a matter of timing and the small window of rehearsal time we have. There's not
#sufficient time to get the kids thriving with Shakespeare's language and characters and in spite of my efforts to make the
#rehearsal process welcoming fun and easy - some kids are drowning because they're trying to cope with learning Shakespeare
#at the same time as learning theatre skills
#we've done Shakespeare the last couple of years and now I've had a good conversation with her about the benefits of doing a play
#that's still rich in substance but has more familiar language - even as a single gap year from Shakespeare. And she's on board
#And it looks like we will probably do Dicken's 'Nicholas Nickleby' - a story that's extremely dear to my heart and significant to me
#I am so happy!
