Auditions are planned for Monday, Nov. 30. Students then rehearse during the week, and Friday, Dev. 4, they put on a performance for the school and parents.

The plays are updated versions of fairy tales. This year they’re planning on “Pinocchio.”

The second one comes straight from spokesperson Randy Matheson:

Kennydale Elementary School students in Norm Brecke’s Story Club will bring literature to life in two upcoming performances. Nearly 25 students in third- through fifth-grades read folktales, and then are trained in various memorization skills and dramatic movement techniques to perform the stories for audiences. This is the second year for the dramatic performances, which will be offered first to students and again for families on Dec. 10 in the school’s commons.
