A few minutes on stage, a few minutes in the “pit” with the audience, and the opportunity to stand alongside the cast as they receive well-earned ovations, a simple and smooth first night of several that my sons get to participate in Delaware Shakespeare‘s production of The Merry Wives of Windsor.
It’s been quite a week as they polished their lines for Pages Alive Theater‘s take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and got an offer to be introduced to a film producer.
All of these connections have come through our learning lifestyle. Pages Alive is a homeschool organization and I was introduced to the Artistic Director of DelShakes as a representative of the homeschool community (I’ll address the futility of generalizing home educators in a future post).
Although I gave them the exposure, I never expected this much enthusiasm for the stage. It is one of the many wonderful surprises we’ve found with home education.
God bless and thank you for reading,
Jason
