Macbeth....... well a version of it anyway!

It has been a tradition for many years at my kids elementary school for the 6th graders to do a version of Macbeth. It's only about 45 minutes long and it's a comedy with songs. So Will knew it was coming up and was anxious to see what part he would end up with. And as you can see in the photo- he was a ghost!
He was a "ghost eating toast" that only Macbeth could see! Will didn't have any speaking parts, but had to sit there and "act" while the song "ghost eating toast" was sung!
At one point he steals Macbeth's crown!
He did such a great job! I actually think it might be a bit tougher to have a part with NO lines!
It was really cute to see and I was really proud of the job he did! All the kids did a good job! Carter was a part of this as well when he was there but opted to do stage crew- no surprise there- and Brianne is hoping they'll still be doing it when she is in 6th grade! Here's to hoping! Way to go Will!

I totally miss this Sunrise tradition! Joe and Jess participated but we moved when it was the year for Danny. They don't do anything like that here. :( Looks like Will did a great job! He looks terrific!
