PerformingView – August 2014

PerformingView by Kaye Osborn

I am hopeful many of you were able to attend a few live performances this summer! Yes Company’s production of Peter Pan was magical and delightful! Many young audience members came dressed as Tinker Bell. Some musicians donned their fairy wings as well! Thanks to all who were involved, on stage and behind the scenes! The interpreted performance was fantastic! It was such a joy to be “Peter Pan”. My team interpreter, Connie Ambroisa-Wann was certainly an evil “Captain Hook”. A shout out goes to Prospect Theater Project for showcasing new plays during their One Act Festival. Migrant Mother, written by Modesto View’s very own Ken White, was truly edu-taining!

The new school year begins this month. Please contact Modesto View with any shows your organization may have planned. We would like to include your productions! Just contact us at events@modestoview.com
