Well it’s back to school after a refreshing break for Pesach (and a busy one for me personally – I got married!), but I am still on a high from what was accomplished the week before Passover – the performances of OUR TOWN. The kids were great – both cast and crew! It’s truly amazing to me how a small school can come together and put on a full-scale production of one of the great plays of the American theatre. More than 65% of our student body was involved in some way – and the rest enjoyed it during at least one performance – some came for two or three! The message is so vital – to live life to the fullest and appreciate it as much as possible (in the words of the character Emily: “do any human beings realize life while they live it – every, every day?”). This is a philosophy that is timeless and timely. And we had such fun doing it, and were so proud of the results of our hard work! Congratulations to everyone involved in OUR TOWN, and thanks to the staff and parents for being so supportive of this major enterprise.
