Well, we're getting ready for the play. Vivienne and I have decided to be in it, but only as villagers. That way we'll still be in the play, but won't have any big speaking parts. Danny's gonna be Dr. Frankenstein, Kyle will be the Monster, Jason will be Igor. Stephanie is playing the Constable, Vivienne, Raychel, Kim and I will be the villagers, and little Mia will play Maria, (the girl the monster throws in the lake). But since this is camp, and not a school play, we have to make our own sets and find stuff for our costumes. So today we were in the Craft Cabin making things for the play.
The play's gonna be done in 3 parts or "acts"...the laboratory, the lake and the castle. Today Jennifer, Vivienne and me painted the set for the lake.
Since Stephanie was going to be the Constable, she needed a hat, so she painted one out of an old bowl.
Meanwhile back at Camp Wilderness, (yeah, the guys gotta help too!), their counselor Doug gave the guys their own art projects to do.
Danny and Jason made torches for the villagers out of heavy paper, and Kyle made his own Frankenstein monster mask.
Y'know, at first I really wasn't all that excited abut doing this play. But now that we're making stuff for it, I'm kinda getting into it! With all the talk about Frankenstein, it's seem more like Halloween than summer camp! There will be more groovy play stuff, (and other neat camp stuff too!), so stay tuned and stay cool!
Until next time, future readers

Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteCool mural! Looks like half the fun of putting on a play will be the preparations.
Your future friend,
Fawn
It's kinda like Art class at school. It's gonna be fun seeing the sets and things at put together.
DeleteI'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes together!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I hope the rehearsals go OK.
DeleteLooks like a lot of fun. You and Vivienne are going to do amazing. Sometimes not having lines sinful because there's no pressure.

Yeah, I don't mind getting up to do Baton or something where I don't have to talk, and I'm OK with reading compositions in front of my class at school, but memorizing lines for a play? I'm too afraid I'd goof it all up!
DeleteYou are all so creative! I can't wait to see the play.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing Kyle knows how to draw, because no one had a Halloween mask for the monster. He also drew some of the stuff in Frankenstein's lab. It looks pretty groovy!
DeleteThat's neat! Turning the crafts time into preparations for the play is an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteSince we were way out in the woods and not at school, Kerry and Doug said we had to make all the sets and props ourselves. What better time to do it but in Arts & Crafts?
