On November 19, Methodist Children’s Home choir and theater
groups performed their fall showcase, titled “The Bulldog Café.” The Fellowship
Hall was transformed into a “coffee shop” atmosphere where the audience could
partake in hot chocolate and various desserts before the performances.
The choir sang a lineup of music that incorporated four
different languages - English, Spanglish, Latin, and Swahili. The students also
did arrangements that included rapping and beat boxing.
“The students have been working incredibly hard all semester,”
said Jill Sims, choir teacher. “It is my great honor to work with such a
talented and dedicated group of students and I am tremendously proud of each of
them!”
The theater class has been working on playwriting. The
students were not given a specific topic but asked to write about what mattered
to them. “I was blown away with what emerged from the students,” said Kira
Rockwell, recreation coordinator. “They created pieces that were comical,
dramatic, fantasy, and stories of loss and forgiveness. Their vivid
imaginations were absolutely inspiring.”
The fall showcase was an opportunity for students to have
their original plays and pieces read out loud for an audience for the very
first time.
“In the almost three years I have been teaching theater at
MCH, the writing process and the staged readings of the students’ original work
has by far been my favorite project,” Rockwell said.
