During the last couple of weekends, Drama Kids International hosted their spring performances in northern VA.  The plays were held at Stonewall Middle School in Manassas VA and Walker-Grant Middle School in Fredericksburg VA.  The Drama Kids program teaches acting and public speaking skills to students 3-18.  Some students may choose to pursue acting as a career, while others will use these new skills at school or work.

After 9 weeks of after-school rehearsals, it was time to perform for their families and friends. The younger kids (5-8) performed the play “Paradesia”, which answers the question “Can shells talk?”.  The 9-11 year olds performed as pirates in the play “Bold Buccaneers”.  The older students (12-18) performed a play about a dress rehearsal gone wrong.

Thanks to Angela, Silver Sound, all the volunteers, and parents for the work you do with Drama Kids.  It was amazing to see the choreography and hear the lines that these students learned… the teachers did a GREAT job.  It’s good to see these students being introduced to the arts at an early age.  Here are some photos from the May 9th and 16th performances.
