Young thespians take the stage
WASHBURN NEWS
On Friday, Jan. 8, 2016, the Washburn District School, along with the 21st Century after-school program, presented the play “The Princess and the Pea.”
The play was directed by Children’s Stage Adventures, a nonprofit organization created to enrich the lives of children through participation in a live theatre experience. Children’s Stage Adventures provided all the sets, costumes and lighting.
The two-member crew arrived at Washburn District Elementary School on Monday and began auditions for the play. The cast, comprised of over 40 students in grades 1-8, spent the week preparing for the performance. They did such a wonderful job, and it was hard to believe that they had only begun learning lines five days ago.
