Schmitz Park School tipped its hat to the Bard Tuesday, June 9 with two performances of its production of a "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Teacher Craig Parsley supervised but was quick to credit the students for being creative in interpreting their own characters as they saw fit. Students designed and painted the background scenery and designed some of the costumes.
They also handled the lighting and controlled some of the directing.
"In my 10 years experience with fifth graders this is the best show ever I have seen," announced Parsley on stage before the evening performance began.
