April 23, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. The Jungle Book.

The Performing Arts Department of Jackson Prep. puts on excellent programs.  This afternoon was another fine example.  Mary Frances was a wolf, and a good one too.  Her lines could be heard clearly and distinctly.   And she almost looked like a wolf.   My Mother would have been proud to see her perform.  I have read The Jungle Book a long time ago and I suspect there has been some editing but nonetheless, the play was well done and a joy to watch, especially when your granddaughter is on stage.

Today, two shows were held with another performance on Monday evening.   The cast is large, about 50 in total.  The time commitment of both teachers and students is enormous but must be worthwhile.  The student actors have much experience and expertise and clearly enjoyed the play and the performance.  Our family certainly enjoyed it too.
