we were a little late getting to chanda's presentation, even though it was only half a block away, but luckily we made it in time to see chanda's monologue. above is a pic of greg waiting for a break in the scenes so we can slip into the room.
after the show, talking about how it was put together. all the students wrote their own monologues. my favorites were chanda's about having the superpower of breathing underwater, and another young girl's about waking up to construction noises everyday and how the construction sounds never end. unfortunately, her monologue is all too true for our neighborhood. developers have taken over and luxury apartments are springing up right and left. it's rather disturbing. i'm just amazed that none of these buildings need to include lower income apartments, and also amazed that anyone can really afford these places. a two floor apartment just sold for twenty five million on west 11th street. yes. you read that right. twenty five million . . for an apartment in a luxury building. here's the description in the new york times.
well, sorry about that diversion . . here's the class with marlene their teacher. morgana did a similar show with her about four years ago called what are our kids thinking. i stayed to watch the class do improvisation exercises, but greg left to watch a seminoles football game and morgana left to babysit.
