busy busy busy !!!! YAY

Posted on Jun 26, 2011

We have been having a BLAST at The MAD Factory over the last few weeks and we are busy busy busy!!!

Teen camp was amazing. I think the commercials that the teen made are best we have had yet. There is even a commercial made using only thumbs. I like to call it “Thumb Wiz”!!

The first week of MAD Camp was so much fun. The favorite game this year seems to be “man overboard”. The kids just love it!! We have also chosen some amazing plays this year, including an adaptation of “My Fathers Dragon” for the middle group written by our own science man, Dan Takacs. My favorite part of MAD Camp, as always, is arts and crafts. We are working together to build a plaster MAD Factory Emerald City. There are amazing buildings in the shapes of shoes and ice cream cones. All I know is I want to live there!!!!

Rehearsals for The Wiz have been awesome!! I have so much fun learning the dance steps every night. Our choreographer, Samantha, comes up with the best moves!! I am getting some much needed cardio!! smile

We also are so lucky because Cain Park has let us borrow some costumes for the show. We are going to be so colorful and have amazing costumes that we would otherwise be unable to afford.

I will have fun rehearsal updates soon!! Stay posted!!!
