Mountain Arts Residency
I just finished a week of teaching Drama to 2nd Grade students at my wife's school, Mountain View Elementary School in Ashe County.  I helped to stage their holiday play, "Christmas Around the World." while my wife, Pat, taught them I also taught basic stage directions, staying open to the audience and proper stage behavior. As time permitted, we played some theatre games and worked on pantomime. These children were great! FUN FOR ALL & LEARNING, TOO!
