6th Graders Perform Fairy Tale Monologues

6th grade drama students have been working on 'fractured fairy tale' versions this semester. They have rewritten well-known fairy tales with their own unique twists, then rehearsed them, costumed them and filmed them. These completed videos will be shared with the community once they are edited by teacher Lydia Horan, who has been working with the students on these creations.

Students have also taken on a fairy tale character individually and written a monologue for that character to perform. During lunch recently, they got to put on costumes, grab their props, and perform their monologues live and in person for students and faculty during lunch. Each took a turn at the microphone (sanitized between uses) to share their memorized monologue. We heard from Jack in the Beanstalk, Little Red, Shrek, Alice in Wonderland, the Wolf, and so many more. The audience sat distant and numerous speakers amplified the fairy tale characters so all could hear. One student even performed virtually. What a lunchtime treat for everyone! Watch for videos of their fairy tale rewrites soon! Check out the photos in this post or see a full slideshow here.
