Morton is Sportin’ Some Serious Teamwork!

School Shows

Morton rehearsals are well under way, and boy oh boy does BOM have a treat for the amazing Morton 4th grade writers!!!  Monkeys Molly and Curtis are back from months away from Chicago, and the cast couldn’t be more excited.  Also, director Luke presented us with a list of artistic challenges that we have attempted to incorporate into the show, everything from a socio-political statement to a sudden ending to actors supporting each other’s weight.  The last of which turned into an entire cast effort at Thursday night’s rehearsal!  While Rachel and I attempted to use our new Commedia Del Arte lift skills (learned during a special three day monkey-arte workshop led by Noel Williams just last week), the rest of the cast created a giraffe and a crocodile out of people!!! 

Check out Molly, Dixie and Diana’s Giraffe!

Can you believe that Loyola Park had scooters for us to use, which created this human crocodile!!! 

Check out Lacy the crocodile (soon to be joined by her tale Mary Winn)!
