Lights, sound, costumes, and actors worked hard this week to bring our story, Oh My gods! to life. The best part was listening to the kids share compliments for 35 minutes after our show today. They had heartfelt appreciations to share with each other about their acting, enunciation, and support of each other backstage. As a teacher, I sometimes think that no complaints or problems must mean things are ok, but listening to our kids talk about how each person really supports everyone else warmed my heart today. They shared that some are very congratulatory to everyone when they exit to backstage, while others are flexible and supportive when lines or cues are forgotten. They talked about how they help each other remain calm and remind each other to breathe while backstage. It is heartwarming to see a community of kids who reach out to lift others when they are feeling stressed, instead of lashing out. How blessed am I to be included in their journey through this year. Enjoy some beautiful moments captured by Nellie Hester. Thanks!
