The last month of October is theater week at Ben’s school. It’s a major event with every class from pre-school through 12th grade presenting a play one of four evenings during the week. The 11th and 12th grade classes get to present their plays in Quillota’s theater on the final night, while the other classes perform on stage at the school. Every year one or two of the classes do an English play. This year 6th grade did The Wizard of Oz and the sophomore class did something about the Beatles. The accents were strongly Chilean, but we were impressed with what they were able to do, especially at the 6th grade level.
Ben was pretty comfortable with his role. He played the part of an American tourist here in Chile! He said his lines in Spanish, though, and did a great job! The play counted as part of his Spanish language grade, so it was a fun and relatively easy way for him to get a good grade. It was also nice to be included in an impromptu party with some of his classmates afterwards at a restaurant nearby. It’s always fun to celebrate with friends after a job well done!

Looks like a happy group. So glad the play turned out so well. Thanks so much for sharing the pictures and information.
It must be so confusing to have your winter turning to summer while we’re just beginning to feel winter’s chill in the air.
It has taken some getting used to! What will really throw us off is coming back to the States for the winter months, essentially going from one winter to another and back again! We hope we’ll get a chance to see you and the folks from Shore Points while we’re “home”.
