CREATING COSTUMES WITH NEEKA'S MOM

WARMING UP

The Upper School co-curricular theater is deep into rehearsing an adaptation of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The ensemble of 7th, 8th, and 9th graders are exploring life in the middle ages, the meaning of a pilgrimage journey, and the courageous process of working on a collaborative piece. The playwright, Jessica Litwak, will be attending rehearsal in January to work with the students and will also attend the production in February.
Creating the characters, costumes, and design concept has been challenging and the talents and creative impulses of this group are evident.
The 8th grade is moving into medieval history in class which will coincide with the production and hopefully help them make connections with the material now and in the future.
This is a great opportunity for the kids to explore this rich material in an accessible and fun way.
The shows are at the Winthrop Theater on February 23rd, 24th, and 25th at 7PM.
