Elisha Mone Live from the Theater Camp!

I'm baaaaaack! Yes, it's me, Elisha Mone, reporting live from the Theater Camp, where we started slow, but have recently come on strong to win FRED (the owl of the day award) and our first annual American Idol contest!! Let's just hope our string of success carries on to our big show this Friday!

This year the theater is putting on the show at 1:30 pm. It is called Beauty is a Beast. It is about a princess named Beauty who only cares about herself. Unfortunately she has to learn her lesson from a bunch of pirates. She is never the same after Nick the pirate helps her get through all the rest of them. This may sound like a romantic story, but it is actually a story that teaches people and Beauty a lesson to be kind to others.

Beauty is played by Mary Elizabeth Grant. Honor, Beauty’s sister, is played by Samantha Ginopios. Nick is played by Jacob Wheeler. The Fairy godmother is played by Anna Goodman. Andres is played by Courtland Jones. Mary is played by Makenzie Lowry. Sarah is played by Morgan Lubbehusen. Janie is played by Rebecca Faulkinbury. Scribe is played by Cassidy Cerrulli. The King is played by Sasha Sizinteva. The tutor is played by Allison Shepard. Capt. Joe is played by Tyler Snider. Patrick is played by Charis Munro. Charlie is played by Vera Snizintseva. Jon is played by Hannah Ater. Peter is played by me Elisha Mone.

To get us ready for acting we do lots of warm ups, including tongue twisters thata help us pronounce words. We play improv games to help with acting, add-on games to help with memorizing, drill down works on paying attention, and rhythm and memorizing commands improves concentration. What do kids like the best? Besides our director, they like playing the freeze game, being with friends, playing with props, tongue twisters, photo booth, crying angels, and having fun with their friends.

I for one have had a great week and am glad I could share our week with you!

Signing off for Camp '08, this is Elisha Mone.
