The KID Show Derring-Do Written by Diana Grisanti Directed by Brittni Shambaugh Addison
Le ap, and the net will appear! Derring-Do: Action displaying heroic courage
If getting on stage in front of friends, family, and strangers, and performing a piece of theatre for the first time ever isn’t an act of Derring-Do, I don’t know what is! When Diana and I started talking about this story, we had no idea where to start. What could we create that would give these young people a chance to play, explore, push themselves, showcase their talents, learn new skills, and have a blast all within a three-week span of time? And then it struck us: Kids. Are. Superheroes. Their bravery, confidence, and willingness to play is inspiring. No matter what we do, they will Brittni Shambaugh thrive! So… let’s create something big, dangerous, Addison and thrilling. Let’s dig deep. Let’s take a risk. The awesome thing about theatre is that it is ephemeral. It is there and then it is gone. No one will ever do this piece of theatre the way these students are doing it. They are the creators. They are the keepers. However, the memories are long-lasting, both for the amazing students creating the piece, and for those of us who get to go on this journey with them. I am so excited for the audience to see the beautiful work that the students have created. I am thrilled for you to go on the ride. Hang on tight!
