Camanche Middle School Drama Presents
“A Bagful of Fables”
Bagful of Fables, by Robert Lehan, will be the middle school production this year. The performances will be at the Camanche High School theater. The dates are February 25 and 26, 2022 at 7:00 PM. Try-outs for all 5th-8th graders will be Monday, December 6, and Tuesday, December 7. December 8 will be for callbacks if needed. Fill out the audition form in the office and bring it to one of the try-outs nights after school in Mrs. Eissens’ room. This year’s show has a cast of 15 kids. The play recreates 5 of Aesop’s fables with narration from Aesop himself. It is a fun show with animal actors and creative sound effects. Practice is Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after school till 5 starting when we get back in January. Please check your schedules and see if you will be able to be at all the practices and the performances. I will be able to make a few acceptions, but we can’t put on a good show if you aren’t committed to the production
