Today, during the Enrichment Advisory time, all of Mr. Modzewleski and Ms. Baker's classes watched a one actor performance of " The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kid. I didn't go in expecting much, especially because only one woman was supposed to play all of the characters. But it went beyond anything I could have imagined.
Ms. Denis was spectacular. In one small stage space with a chair, she captured the essence of Lily Melissa Owens and her tragic story. Her voice and expressions fit perfectly with each character, making for an excellent experience.
My only problem with the performance was that literally half of the book was cut out, though I'm sure it was for time's sake. Despite that, I encourage everyone to take their families and see "The Secret Life of Bees".

Yeah, I was going all loco and crazy when I missed it. I was soo confused and if Mrs. Baker gets mad at me, I'm just gonna say, "Sorry, slipped my mind."

The show was so weird, but interesting at the same time. I really didn't know how to react to that one woman show.
