February is OAP UIL month
(One Act Play University Interscholastic League).
Even though in real life he's the little brother, he didn't have to reach too hard to be a pesky big brother.
After an argument, Amelia yelled to her mother that she hated her on the way out the door. Lem grabbed her during the school day to tell her she shouldn’t talk to their mother like that.
Amelia and the other children who died that day were still lingering on earth. It was a heavy play, but it had a warm fuzzy ending.
Eli got his performance potato. I liked this one because it looked like a heart; Eli thought it looked like a butt.
Theatre UIL breaks the middle schools into two groups. The top three from each group advances to the finals. The troupe was waiting patiently for the results.
They made it!
Two weeks later we were back at it again. However, the day before Mrs. Wood was diagnosed with walking pneumonia so she was not able to attend. This was applied learning at its finest because the kids took control of everything. There were a few adults to chaperone, but the kids took charge.
It is a long day with a lot of lingering involved.
The one act play has a time restriction between 18-40 minutes. They have exactly 7 minutes before their performance to set up the stage and 7 minutes for tear down when it's finished.
They nailed it. But the competition was pretty tough so we waited with baited breath to hear the results.
They did it! First place!
We're proud of our boy and the whole group. It says a lot about how well Mrs. Wood leads these kids and gets them so prepared that they can even do it without her. I hate for her that she missed the last UIL of her career, but she went out on top! So did our Lijee.
