2010 Play Festival Recap
The January 2010 Play Festival featured performances by three area middle schools. Shelburne Community School presented Not So Grimm Tales by Patricia Montley, directed by Jennifer Sokolowski. F.H. Tuttle Middle School in South Burlington presented a slightly shortened version of Our Town by Thornton Wilder, which was directed by David Bailey. Edmunds Middle School in Burlington presented an original adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempeste: Circo Tempeste. This was written and directed by Don Wright.
In addition to the performances, the festival weekend featured an acting and character development workshop, a critiquing session that gave the actors an opportunity to critique the work of others and plenty of social time to allow the kids to make new friendships and learn about many different approaches to theatre.
