Working on a Skit

Well, my colleagues and myself are now working with the children for an upcoming School Day Program. We are planning a play on the Pied Piper. It seems an enormous task right now. But even the Sports Day seemed like a mountain for us but after it finished, it was just like you crossed a tiny hill.

Maybe it is the effort put in by all of us, which makes it all so wonderful. We can still see or hear sounds of discomfort from here and there, but the show must go on.

I am kind of enjoying my very first hand experience in handling a skit. All of us have been put in groups to work on different characters. Well, the only experience that I remember is putting my language skills in the English skit in college.

I'm also in charge of few characters in the play like the Mayor, Town crier, Councillors and Mayoress. The children are just having a wonderful time. They eagerly look forward for the Zero Period. The world of 'make and believe' is truly an exciting world for any child.

Well, coming back to the Pied Piper, right now, my part is in setting up the backgrounds for the scene, since the school has finally agreed to the use of an data projector for the show. ( Yes!! Yes!! Yes!!)

I would like to share this wonderful line that came in our circular - "Slipping into the world of 'Make -Believe' is an important part of growing up. Through the medium of dance and drama, young children learn to express themselves. "

I am sure we'll have lots of challenges on our path. Challenges make my day!! As long as Allah is with me, I'm sure these challenges are going to be a breeze. ( Do I sound too confident?)
