Synopsis
"The response was great! Sixteen children participated, 7 adults (and more)
volunteered. The audience truly enjoyed the shows on Saturday and Sunday,
June 22 and 23.
It was individual, it was unique! It was The Pocket Theatre's Children Summer
Workshop production of "The Monsters Under the Bed." It is a comedy by FR. Dominic
Garramone and the Saint Bede Theatre Troupe.
"Why was it so special?" you may ask. Well, is special for two reasons. First,
it's about this girl, Stephanie, who throws a slumber party, her bigger sister, her
little cousin, and six slumber party girls with overactive imaginations. There are
also seven monsters that love to give a good scare.
The second reason this production was special is because the kids have done everything.
They were not only the actors and actresses, but also creators of everything about the
program. The kids built the set, made the costumes, painted the scenery, and developed
the advertisement (this article was written by a kid). During the performance, kids were
working on-stage and off. Kids were running the sound, lights, props, applying makeup as
well as acting on stage.
Children involved with this endeavor as partygoers were Julia Dickinson, Alicia Kerr,
Kristi Downie, Chelsie Trimms, Jessamyn Carter, Samantha Sherman and Katie Knight.
Tim Owens, Timothy Douglas, Mary Hampo, Darci Becker, Logan Miller, Kenzie Bentley and
Keith Fahad played the creepy, scary monsters.
Our tech crew consisted of Tim Owens, Caity Bentley and Marnie Becker.
Adult volunteers - Jan McKillip, Joni Wilson, Linda Rickel, Mark Britton, Ray Johnson,
Dave McKillip and Holly Gipson."
