Center stage

Fifth graders at Horn Academy produced The Taming of the Shrew. Lisa Miller, teacher of drama and creative writing at Horn Academy, has always loved Shakespeare. She found works that had been rewritten for student performance, and thought the plays would be a perfect introduction to the Bard. The students worked on their plays for six weeks, and they did their own directing, designed their own costumes from items they could find at home, and presented their plays in our classroom to parents. Participating students included Jase Schmalz (Grumio), Jacob Dodson (Hortensio) and Colin Sloan (Petruchio).
