In the last 2-3 years, drama has exploded within the schools.   My son has been involved in drama for the past 2 years.  In the last 2 weeks, I have attended 2 plays put on by the local elementary schools and I was totally blown away by their performances.  What I like the most is ALL the kids are involved in the production.  Whether they are one of the main characters or a stage hand, everyone is involved.  I was involved in sports when I was in school and while I attribute my confidence and abilities as an athlete to these programs, I have spent time on the bench.  Not everyone is involved in a game.  Some are left on the sidelines and you wonder how that is suppose to build confidence.

There are a few more performances coming up and I will definitely be going.  Grace is really enjoying the plays as well.  Hopefully she will follow in her brother’s footsteps and take an interest in drama.
