Shakespeare

Each summer, NTA puts on a Shakespeare experience program for the older kids in their programs.  This was the first year that Staley participated in the program.  They met once a week and, at the end of the program, they put on the show "Canned Hamlet."  It was satirical comedy based on the Shakespeare play, Hamlet.  

Staley really enjoyed getting to try something different on stage, as well as getting to be a part of the "older kids" group.

Staley was cast as Guard #3.  She had one line, but was also in several other scenes as an ensemble character.  She did great with the parts she was given!

The play was really enjoyable.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but the script was very funny and the actors did a wonderful job.

We just invited grandparents to join us for this show, so Grammie and Grandpa came one night...

and Uma and Papa came the other night.

Staley relished another opportunity to be on stage in a new way with some new people.

I love watching Staley get yet another opportunity to do something that brings her so much joy!
