The Fairy Tale News

On Tuesday the 13th, we gathered at the high school auditorium to see the 5th grade play. There were actually two plays this year, “The Merchants of Venice” and “The Fairy Tale News.”

The first play was a mash-up of Shakespeare and “The Dating Game.” The second play (obviously the main event) was a TV newscast featuring the top stories out of fairy tales. The lead news item was an interview with three pigs and a wolf, the weather report came from atop a beanstalk, the sports story featured a tortoise and a hare, and there was a human interest story about a girl in a red hood marketing a new service to avoid wolves.

Laura played the part of Jill (of “Jill and the Beanstalk” fame), the TV meteorologist who gave her weather report from the top of the beanstalk.




After the play, Laura was kind enough to pose for some photos for her adoring fans. First, Laura and her director, Ms. Nelson.

What a fine Weather Woman you were. The weather at the top of the bean stalk seems pretty nice this time of year, we might need to vacation there this spring.

Great job Laura!
