BYU Theater Performance

Mapleton Elementary School students and faculty were treated to a performance by the B.Y.U. Theater Department recently.

Theater students turned Mapleton's  Auditorium into a "Theater in the Round" to present a delightful rendition of  "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".  Second and Third Grade students attended a workshop after the performance to learn about reading with Voice. They were instructed in the use of roll play, sound orchestration, onomatopoeia ( words that represent sounds)  and analysis of the play.
 
Students sat quietly in their designated areas, enjoying the performers as they moved about the audiences. Some students were chosen to dawn costumes and become a part of the play while others became galloping horses, choir singers and creaking gates.

The performance was delightful and captured the attention of everyone. Congratulations to students and thanks to the B.Y.U. Theater Department.
