Acting out. . .

The latest news at the Warren/Slaughter house is that six, count'em SIX of the residents of the house are going to be involved in drama this fall. No, no, I don't mean the kind of drama that takes place year 'round--"He was making a face at me but I didn't hit him!". . ."I know I left my math book in the kitchen and now it's gone and can I go play now?". . ."Dad come quick! I didn't do anything but there's blood all over the trampoline!" This year we're gonna teach the kids to do it RIGHT and be believable when they tell us their stories! Nathan, Bethany, Shelley, John Caleb, Timothy, and Molly are going to become thespians, spending a good part of their Thursdays every week with a large drama troupe made up largely of home schoolers. Actually, Bethany and John Caleb are more interested in the "techie" side of things, but all of them will spend some time learning both the "art" and the "science" side of theater. We're pleased that so many of the kids are interested in the same activity this year--cuts down on the driving! And I'm sure most of you will be approached about buying tickets to the big productions. . .if they're anything like the one in the spring, you'd be treating yourself to come and enjoy :-)
