Mystery at Marlgate Manor
[email protected]
Hi, Becky! Boy, it has been a long time!
Do you still get up to Minneapolis on occasion? Our homeschool theater group's next play is November 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17. It's a mystery/farce and and the actors are all 13 and older. It's the first time we've tried this and it was really hard to disappoint the younger kids, but this time it was necesary. We're doing Pollyanna in the spring and lots of kids can participate.
We just had our first rehearsal, a read-through of the script. I think it's going to be great, with lots of cool classic mystery stuff: set in an old English mansion, the eclectic family called together by the patriarch for an announcement and served by a maid and butler, a thunderstorm, people disappearing, secret wall panels, etc., etc.
I've asked this before but never got a response, so I'll try again: does anyone know of other homeschool theater groups? I'd love to communicate and compare notes.
Susan

me to ask the person who organizes them if she'd like to
communicate? There's also a group in Vancouver that's done some Shakespeare.

variety of theater - Cabaret was her fave this season - and I can't
imagine a mystery/farce that would be beyond that.
Obviously ageism is one of my hot buttons...
