Shakespeare Camp: Friday and Saturday

WARNING: this post has a lot of pictures.
The performance went just smashingly! We always lag a bit by Friday evening, but energy was back up for the performance on Saturday. It was actually one of the smoothest performances we've ever had. Huge thank-you to everyone who helped (and that's a lot of people)! Every year I'm more amazed that we, a bunch of homeschooled 6th-12th graders with little to no acting experience, managed to perform an entire Shakespeare play with one week of rehearsals and mere sentences cut from the original script. It's an incredible opportunity for us, and depends completely on the generosity of Mrs. Kane, our director, and all the other moms who help in various ways. It's always the highlight of our summer, and what an awesome experience, to reach college having performed in seven different Shakespeare plays.
And now, the photos. In no particular order. (Because trying to put photos in order on Blogger is nightmare-ish.) All photos taken from my phone and the Facebook posts of Mom, Mrs. Scott, and Mrs. Nehring.
