Our homeschool group has been working the past few months on putting together a play. Ryan played Bob Cratchitt in Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol, December 2nd. It was a lot of hard work and all of the moms and children did an amazing job. I'm so proud of Ryan. I'll post the videos below.

Ryan's Shakespeare Play
Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
Ryan was Claudio.
Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy by William Shakespeare about two pairs of lovers, Benedick and Beatrice, and Claudio and Hero.
Benedick and Beatrice are engaged in a "merry war"; they both talk a mile a minute and proclaim their scorn for love, marriage, and each other.
In contrast, Claudio and Hero are sweet young people who are rendered practically speechless by their love for one another.
By means of "noting" (which sounds the same as "nothing," and which is gossip, rumour, and overhearing), Benedick and Beatrice are tricked into confessing their love for each other.
And Claudio is tricked by Don John into rejecting Hero at the altar.
However, Dogberry, a Constable,
discovers the evil trickery of the villain, Don John.
discovers the evil trickery of the villain, Don John.
In the end, Don John is captured and everyone else joins in a dance celebrating the marriages of the two couples.
Tricking Benedick by letting him overhear them say that Beatrice loves him.
