Rumpelstiltskin at the Kennedy Center



On Tuesday, October 5, Madge went with her friends to enjoy a life-size puppet play of Rumpelstiltskin at the Kennedy Center downtown. She went with her friends, Teresa and Lucia, and met up there with other friends-- more homeschoolers from our area.

Rumpelstiltskin is near and dear to our heart. This past August, we did a family performance of this play as a part of my extended family's talent show in Holland, Michigan. Madge was the miller's daughter, Mary was Rumpelstiltskin, Pita was the woodsman, Baby Caleb was the baby, and I was the king and the miller. Madge loved performing the play so sure enough she enjoyed watching it as well.

It's really neat that the Kennedy Center has an entire curriculum and set of events for school groups (including those who are home educated).

We're so blessed to be in this area with so many wonderful arts/We're so blessed to be in this area with so many wonderful arts/entertainment opportunities.
