Quiz week 7

1. The Columbus CHildren's THeatre visited our school and did a play about the Wright Brothers. There were only 2 actors and 2 actresses, but they did a great job. They had a portable background that suited every scene. They had many props with which to portray the brothers, sister and mother. It was actually very interesting and got K-5 interested in the Wright Brothers as people, not just history. I believe that this is a very important way to get children involved in their education.
2. THe Lion King is one Broadway show I would love to see!!
3. The functions of theatre are not only entertainment. THey also can be informative, persuasive and inspirational.
4. Any art form can produce a change in politics or society. Theater holds an advantage because it is so accessable to the public. "Pay It Forward" was a movie that really made me have a new perspective on life. There are several recent releases that are based on true stories, such as the Gridiron Gang, these stories are truely based on what people are made of and how they can change.
