Think OUTSIDE the Box!

Proscenium, end, thrust, arena . . . the type of stage you're acting on matters!  "Harder, it is, than you think, to act," Yoda told the Broadway Knights, "when, surrounded, on all sides, by an audience, you are."

With the BKTA-sponsored dance looming, and Yoda wanting the theatre academy to do a performance, it was time to act on a different kind of stage . . . a dance floor.  Oddly, the geometrically challenged Broadway Knights- who typically couldn't form a pattern, even if aliens landed, and flattened acres of crops- immediately formed a circle, thus cutting off their audience from the action.  After two hours, a lot of sweat, and some serious Jedi intervention, the not-quite-ready-for-prime-time Padawan Learners finally got it!  And the Obi-Wan goes to:

• Allie Spaccarelli- Best Actress in a Glee-esque Musical
• KeVona Morgan- Best Contact with the ENTIRE Audience
• Tiffany Raeuber- Best Mime of a Cell Phone Call
• Candace Banister- Best Dancer
• Joanie Shinn- Best Director of a Moving Circle

A special thanks goes to the GMS girls' soccer coach, Mr. Kevin Cash, for allowing his athletes to participate in the second half of the rehearsal.  Now, if Yoda can persuade Candace Banister to wear matching shoes- "Think, I do, Miss Banister, in the dark, dressed, Saturday!"- and the Broadway Knights performance might be a hit.
