Tempest

3 of my kids were involved in a homeschool production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. My 14 year old boy played the part of Stephano, a drunken butler, and did a very good job for his first part with real ‘lines’ learn. My 11 year old twins were able to play sea sprites and mostly were the ‘invisible’ cleanup crew between scenes. Once again Ged Scharold took the show with his great performance, this year as Caliban, the monster of the island. He will be graduating from High School this year, so it may be his last.

They older homeschool kids spend 4 weeks studying the play and then 6 weeks of practice. This was quite a young group since most of the experienced actors graduated during the last 2 years and are away at college – but they did very well. The directors hopefully will be able to continue puting these productions together because even without my own kids in the production I would make sure to attend each year.
