| Students
in the Home School program recently completed a production of “Bigger
Than Life” by Cynthia Mercati. This play was a fast-paced, funny,
and energetic show featuring stories of four famous characters in
American folktales.
The folk tales presented were Bess Call and the City Slicker, Annie
Oakley, Sal Fink and the River Pirates, and Pecos Bill. Students practiced
weekly from October to December, and two performances were held at
Rivergold Elementary.
The students learned a great deal from this experience such as confidence,
responsibility, teamwork, im-provisation, and creativity, their teacher
says. They also learned aspects of theater production such as blocking,
comedic timing, choosing and gathering props, costuming and performing
sound effects.
The cast included Cole Reist (8th grade), Gailyn Wensloff (7th grade),
Mak-enzie Hagerman (7th grade), Becky O’Connell (7th grade), Chase
Hagerman (5th grade), Mia Talesfore (4th grade), and Brianna Shockley
(4th grade).
Coarsegold Home School mom Teena Hagerman acted as director and teacher
Denise Bausch was co-director. Parents, staff, and students alike
praised the actors on their wonderful performances.
