Posted by Bradford on November 8, 2013
Just a few weeks ago, we wrapped up our residency at the Garcia Lorca Elementary School, and it twas a blast. The kids were amazing, wrote fantastic stories, and proved to be great actors to boot. Oh yeah, it can be a little sad at the end of six weeks, when you walk out of the class room for the last time. But hey… don’t cry for me my friends, because the Lorca school show kicks off in a week. That’s right good people, the first school show of the year is going down, and it’s going to be Awesome town.

Three 3rd grade classes. Close to 600 stories. To say it was a tough job selecting stories for the show would be the understatement of the year. Never the less expect football games on the moon, tributes to 90’s video games, and of course our trade mark Barrel of Monkey song and dance. I love it.

Last but not least, it’s always a pleasure to see how a story makes it’s way from the class room, into the rehearsal hall and on to the stage. Always a pleasure seeing kids put pencil to paper, and realize they have more to share with world than they’ll ever know. Oh yeah!! So here’s to Lorca… the first school show of the year… and to a year of great stories, from the many great residencies yet to come. YES!!!!!
