­Tonight I had the privilege of seeing ¡BOCON!, presented by The After School Partnership & All-City Drama of The Cambridge Public Schools Department of Visual & Performing Arts and directed by the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] urban_faerie_, with sound and music by the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] clarity_dog.

But the real stars of the show were the kids: 7th and 8th graders telling a story in Spanish and English, incorporating folktales and modern politics, using dance and maskwork and song and some really fine acting. There were a couple of them who made me think "gee, we should do more shows that need kids!"

I also got to sit with [livejournal.com profile] smacaski and [livejournal.com profile] joyeous, which was a treat in itself.

Congratulations to everyone involved. And the next time [livejournal.com profile] urban_faerie_ tells you to go see a show, do yourself a favor and go!

The kids were absolutely adorable. There's something moving for me in seeing young people take something so seriously. It gives you the respect for them that you don't usually have when you see them screaming at each other across the T and texting in movie theatres.

And it was great seeing you!
