A Midsummer Night's Dream

The dream came to Paris last week. It wasn't quite midsummer's eve but almost. The students took this on without any help from the teachers. They directed it, made costumes, choreography, etc. It was very impressive.

Alexander was definitely one of those on stage who was actually acting and not reciting lines. He played a very dignified Duke of Athens with several long speeches delivered with obvious understanding of the English -- not always easy with Shakespeare -- and it made it much easier for the audience to understand as a result. We were very proud parents and heard many complements from friends who saw the performance.
