More of Much Ado...

Saturday's entertainment included a spoof of Shakespeare in one of the Mount Vernon parks. The Shakespeare Northwest troupe presented "To Be or Not TV 2" as a series of vignettes were Shakespeare writing for today's TV shows. In this skit, the actors are leading an exercise class. Recruited to help them was Grandson Micah on the right. It is hard to believe how tall he has gotten.

Daughter Dawn (second from right) got volunteered to participate in Queen Elizabeth's version of the Hokey-Pokey, done in archaic English.

Then back out to Rexburg/Blackrock Amphitheater for the evening's performance of Much Ado About Nothing. The theatre is  in an old rock quarry that really amplifies voices. 

This version of Ado is set in the Roaring 20's. Here's Grandaughter Claire's first appearance as a messenger boy.

Later, she appears as a serving girl at the masked ball --

In the last portion of the play, Claire is one of the constables that bring the tale-bearers before the judge.

Claire had lots of costume changes back and forth between her various characters. She has turned in to one amazing young actor!
