So, Friday night I went to see middle niece's school play, "Peter Pan." She played an Amazon warrior. Some of you may be wondering where Amazons come in. Well, it turns out that they're Tiger Lily's people, what used to be "Red Indians." (And it's also a neat way of dealing with the fact that the production had a lot more girls than boys.)
Since St. John's is a Catholic school, another departure from the usual text was the inclusion of "the Lost Priests" who had a brief scene with corny old priest/young priest jokes.
The most polished performance was the girl who played Tinkerbell, who very obviously had dance training. She was kind of stiff for the monologue they gave her, but the physical acting was very good.
We missed my sister, who is in the hospital at the moment, hope she gets well soon.
