Theatre Festival 3

Picture 1: This is the play Katie did. She directed a traditional Thai fable that comes from her province of Pitchit called "Chalawan". Its about a crocodile who can turn into a man and steals two girls for his wives. It was really fun to watch.

Picture 2: This girl is from a group that Liesbeth invited to the play, but was entirely produced and directed by Thai people....which is awesome considering they dont have much dramatic theatre in their culture! I did this girls make-up. She told me she was Dracula when in reality she was playing the ghost of Christmas yet to come in " A Christmas Carol". I guess thats not too far of a stretch, but I might have done it a little differently if I had known that was actually the part she was playing. At least I didnt put blood marks around her mouth.

Picture 3: This group comes from Chumphon Province, down south. They had a volunteer at their site 4 years ago and have continued to do plays since he left! They did Macbeth, which was so amazing. It is a community group of high school students that make up this group and their performance was almost professional! The sound affects and sets were just very well done!

Picture 4: These are some of the volunteers, watching the plays, that either helped get the festival together or just came to watch. From right to left Bryn, Merissa, Emily, Natalie, Tara, and Becky.

Picture 5: This is a picture of most of the students that attended the festival. Unfortunately, they didnt get all of them in the picture. There were about 250 in all. Instead of Where's Waldo think Where's Wesley;)
