Sam loves drama--not teenage "drama," but acting. He's pretty good at it, and we try to encourage him with it whenever we have a chance. Being homeschooled narrows the opportunities, though, so I'm thankful that there is a group here in Stafford called YACTS, Young Adult Children's Theater of Stafford. Their goal is to expose children and young adults to opportunities to use their gifts in a positive way. Sam was excited to try out. He memorized a monologue from Cyrano to try out. He did an excellent job of expounding the many ways to insult someone with a nose the size of Cyrano's. He got the part of Robin Hood. Today he did so well (they all did really). He didn't have a ton of lines, but he stayed in character when he was on stage, making faces and gestures while others were talking. He hammed it up pretty well. I am so proud of him for his accomplishment with this and I'm thankful for Sam.

that is AWESOME! Our local home school co-op is fairly large for our area (we have at least 200 students, K-12) and we have an excellent drama teacher. Last year, the jr/sr high school kids did a play, Mystery at Shady Acres and I was amazed at the expressions and acting of those in the background....
the younger kids, including mine, did Peter Pan and it really blew me away, how great they were! Even my BIL who studied drama was quite impressed. Keep up the great work, Sam!
Sam looks great as Robin Hood! The theater fits him well.
