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.
