Yesterday we took a trip to Needville, TX where our granddaughter Jayna’s high school theater group was doing a one-act play of “Hiding in the Open”, about two Polish sisters’ experiences during the Holocaust.
The performance was open only to participating students’ parents and grandparents, with virus restrictions and social distancing in place.
I was blown away by the quality of both acting and stage production! The story was very moving — After the play ended and the lights came up, it was a bit disconcerting to see the cast acting like normal teenagers. They had been so believably immersed in their roles!
The acting skills of High Schoolers are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI was involved in theater at my much larger high school — these small-town kids of Needville, Texas outshone anything we ever did!
DeleteA funny side note: among the cast were a set of twins and a set of triplets — actors, all!
