Stockton was Rockton!
Posted by Philip on December 11, 2010
We just finished our performance at the STOCKTON school. And I gotta say it ROCKED a TON.
I was a teacher at the school, and I got to say there is a huge difference when you personally know the kids that wrote the stories. I got a kick at their reactions to their work onstage, and we were able to perform stories by every single child in the entire residency in this show (and it was only 55 minutes…way to go Director Kate Staiger). They feel like rockstars for a day and you feel like you made a difference.
Anyway, enough schmultz! SHOW ME THE PICTURES AND VIDEO!
Here’s rare rehearsal footage of Ricky Harris’ song - click the link to see it! My Sister Fell in Garbage
Ricky has got to be the king of writing 30 second songs.
The sister, by the by, is the amazing Candy Lawrence who volunteer taught at Stockton and joined us in rehearsals. She cracked us up constantly. Let’s hope she throws us a surprise party soon!
Photos? You got it!
This visual piece took a literal approach to the “tag-you’re it” game SPIDERS AND FLIES! 
The Spiders lost and had to do jumping jacks!
We’re all friends in the end.
Ricky can’t get this ring off his finger!
Good thing his mom had some soap!
I gotta say I can’t wait to teach and perform at Stockton again. LOVE those kids! And their imaginations!
