Emily's Drama Performance at School 12-12-08

On Friday morning, December 12th, I arrived at Palmetto Prep around 9:30 in order to see Emily's drama performance. For 10 weeks, she had been enrolled in a drama class offered at school that was through the South Carolina Childrens' Theater. I headed to her class where they were getting ready to head outside. I followed the class out to the playground while the kids played until Kathy Jones (ast. director of the school) came to get Emily and the other kids that were in the performance. I then waited with the other parents in the lobby of the school while the kids were preparing in the theatre. Once it was time we were escorted in the theater and took our seats.

The play was a fantacy story bassed about some village maidens and some

dragons. The story was narrated by Traysie Amick, a teacher at the SC Children's Theater and a cast memer of Cafe and Then Some. The story started by Emily's group of maidens coming out to pick flowers. They were soon scared off by the group of dragons. After the dragons were gone, the maidens came out again and say that the dragons were in trouble and went to help them.

After the performance was over, they all said their names and took big bowes. It was very cute!! After we were leaving, we spoke with Traysie Amick and she thought Emily was just like her at that age and thought EMily would love going to some of the classes.
