Today was the last day of our tour...I'm now back in Chicago, resting comfortably with tea and applesauce.
The very last show we had today was for a K-4 school at 1:45pm. After the show, we had our standard Q and A for the kids. Recently we discovered that if we turn it around and ask the KIDS questions, we get some really good responses. Here's my favorite dialogue of the day:
Linden (director): So wasn't that a great opera!? (general yesses and applause). An opera is different from a play. Who can tell me what an opera is?
Child (Profound 4th grader): It's a group of people who have REALLY good voices, and they're all together and they're doing what they love.
Linden: That is a wonderful definition! Now who can tell me how a play is different from an opera?
Child (frightened Kindergartener who probably had her hand up for a completely different comment): It's just....where....everybody does what they're supposed to.
So cute. So very cute. I love outreach.
