End After School Performing Arts program is over for now.  Throughout the eight months we've spent with the kids, we've put on two performances.  The first performance was in February and it was called “Lion and Mouse Stories.”  The cast was made up of elementary school students with help from two middle school students.  It was great to see the kids all working together.  In the end, they were all so proud of themselves!</div> <bR> <div> The second show we did was in June and was called “The Case of the Missing Glass Slippers.”  This play was done only with elementary school kids.  It was a funny play and the kids had a fun time helping Chandra Pieragostini to write the ending.  The kids didn't have as much rehearsal time on this one but in the end you never would have noticed!  The kids enjoyed being recognized for their work on this play and it was like they were superstars!  </div> <bR> <div> Many kids from United South End Settlements came to see this show because we have been doing workshops with them on Mondays for the past month.  The kids from the Blackstone came too, as well as the rest of the YMCA kids.  They all stayed after the show and had cake with us too!</div> <bR> <div> This year we had a core group of around ten kids to teach theatre.  We evolved them into great actors if they weren't already.  We worked with them for eight months, teaching them about theatre and playing theatre games with them.  Once they were more comfortable and ready to perform, we started coming up with play ideas and preparing for a show.  </div> <bR> <div> In the end, this year went great.  I grew close relationships with all the kids.  When it was the last day I had to say my goodbyes.  My heart was broken because I had such a close bond with these kids!  All of them are great actors and I know they will do very well in the future.  They all have a natural quality for comedy so whenever we do a play we will always leave the audience laughing.  </div> <bR> <div> All in all it was another successful year for SEASPA and everyone is looking forward to next year!"</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
