Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, May 26th
Today's Theme is "Colorful." Join in! or view more Photo Hunters.
This colorful image I took last weekend. J was in The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet with his acting group. J happens to be the rainbow-colored one right in the front. The colors were very important in the play---The Monotones (Romeo's family, not Montegue!), were in blue, and the Capitulate family (not the Capulets of Shakespeare's play) were in red. Anyone not in the feud between families was in rainbow, or black or even pink. Hats off to the grandmother who was in charge of making all the costumes!! She had lots of work to do to to out fit these 30 kids.
This picture is at the end of the play---but in this version, no one died. Romeo had his "cracker" switched, so he didn't die, so Juliet didn't have to kill herself. Whew! The families were put through a machine (Seuss-style) to tke off their Xs and Os, and they were all friends in the end eating potluck every evening. This is the "Group Hug."

How fun! This picture reminds me of the one professional theater production I was in as a child - The Pied Piper.

What a great photo of colors.
But even better....what a great switch on the normal tragedy of this play. Very creative writers!

This sounds like an awesome take on an old favorite play! The costumes are not only colorful, they were original! Someone needs to thank that Grandma over and over! My photo is up, please visit!

This is extremely colorful. I've heard of the play but haven't had a chance to see it.
