                                               The Big Show is Coming!
Ms. Lin’s Class 220 at ZZHS should be becoming famous for its “productions”.
They certainly spend enough time and effort working on them. Last year it was their
chorus production, and their small class of only 21 students won first place.
For this class, apparently working hard and trying their best to win at whatever
they do has become a class tradition. This year, it’s a play. But for this class, just going
on line and pulling up “student play” of the internet wasn’t going to do. They need
something a little more challenging.
So, somehow, they found a 17 th century French “romantic comedy” by Moliere
called the ”Medecin Volant”, or “The Flying Doctor” . It’s one of those somewhat
complicated romantic comedies that were popular in France and Italy at the time, where
the man is in love with the beautiful girl, but the girl has been promised to someone else,
so the man’s servant assume a role, so that he (the servant) can help love find a way.
Things get complicated after that.
But the talented students of Class 220 have been doing this from just about
nothing. The play had to be “adapted”, with a lot of editing, so that is was the right
length for a student performance, “casting” had to be done to get the right student into the
right part, the stage sets had to be designed and constructed, and so on, and so on, and so
on. Lately the class has been spending a lot of evenings and the occasional Saturday to
get things ready.
The play is Thursday, May 31 st . I’m sure to hear all about it, so I’ll pass the news
along next week.”
