For our school’s Literacy Night, the 6th graders performed the play “The Trial of Alice in Wonderland.” Ricky really wanted to be the Cheshire Cat and his audition earned him the part!
It was a cute little play and the students did really well with it – especially considering they only had a couple of hours a week to work on it during school.
We all enjoyed watching and cheering on our “Cat” except for Bobby. He was excited at first and then he spent the remainder of the play like this …
The students also performed for the student body during an assembly. Afterwards, one of Ricky’s former teachers came up to me and was just glowing with pride!
She was amazed at how composed he was and how he just shined on the stage! “He was so great!!!” she said!
Does he have a future on Broadway? Probably not, but he loves doing performing and he is confident when he gets up in front of people. Ricky enjoys it and is happy on stage!
And that makes ME happy!
The play is less than 30 minutes long and Ricky’s part is at about the 16 minute mark. You can see it HERE.
