Happy June!
Hello Boardies!
Well, it sounds like everyone is really good spirits - I know I am since the crazy rainstorms
have moved on (at least for a little bit) and the gorgeous weather of late spring is shining
through.
In Hi-5 world we are having a blast this June! On Saturday we performed two shows to a
packed pier down at South Street Seaport and saw many familiar and many new faces
dancing along to our songs. Tomorrow we've got a performance with our friends over at
the Today Show, which is always tons of fun for us and then in a few weeks we will be at
Sesame Place. So, we're plugging away and I hope to see as many of you as I can this
month.
For those of you who have shown interest in the show (Romeo and Juliet) I am assistant
directing out in New Canaan, CT that is awesome! As soon as I have information about
tickets I will let you know. Our cast is amazing - I think for those of you who want to
expose you kids to Shakespeare it will be a great opportunity. Plus, I can think of nothing
better than outdoor summer theater - a picnic dinner and a blanket as the sun sets and a
story unfolds, who could ask for anything more? I do want to give a warning, however,
that Shakespeare, though silly, fun and, in this case, a beautiful story of love, is also filled
with bawdy humor and sword fights, not to mention the fact that many of the young
people in this play die (the most ex-cellent and lamentable tragedy of Romeo and Juliet).
So, children are more than welcome, but it's something to keep in mind. (I suppose you
could also leave after the first act. They fall in love, get together - end of play!)
Also, the company is doing two more productions this summer for children (including
Peter Pan). I am not involved with those shows directly, but for families in the area they
will be great options for fun things to do a little later in the summer and I'll be sure to give
you that info as well.
Alright, take care! Oh, and my mom is so right, "Sweet Loraine" is a simple and beautiful
jazz tune that always makes me smile:).
Love and Hi-5s,
Karla
