Backstage: Mrs. Beaver and the Unicorn in the back; the Dwarf, Fenris Ulf and the Water Nymph in the front.
The amazing thing about doing drama with our students is seeing their ingenuity and creativity, as well as their professionalism. "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" at our university got four Kennedy Center American College Theater awards: for directing, stage management, costumes and makeup. In addition, two students were nominated by the adjudicator for acting awards.
The White Stag (fabled to grant wishes if you catch it)
One of the forest creatures getting his ears glued on
A forest creature getting her ears painted.
Jadis, the fearsome and clever White Witch
The friendly Water Nymph
Fenris Ulf, cruel wolf captain of the White Witch's secret police
Mrs. and Mr. Beaver, who endeared themselves to us all.
And finally, a picture of me as Mother Christmas with Shane the director to the left and Amy the stage manager to the right. The students were generous to include me, and the experience was the high point of my fall term. Sometimes there are unexpected blessings!
