­¡BOCON!

­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!
