FRMS 7th grade class will get the opportunity to see Ballet Fantastique’s performance of “As You Like It” on October 18th. This ballet, based on the play by William Shakespeare, is set in the Wild Wild West and features Honky Tonk music. The ballet has been performed internationally since it was premiered in 2011.
The character of Touchstone narrates in Shakespearean verse- with a Western twang. This is ballet and Shakespeare as it’s never been seen before. “As You Like It” is Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy about two feuding brothers who have two lovable daughters who teach two other estranged brothers how to love.
Our field trip to the Hult Center to see this ballet will be Thursday, October 18th. Buses will leave around 9:00 and we will be back in time for lunch. Parent chaperones are welcome if you have completed a criminal history background check. If you would like to chaperone, please contact the school office.
Permission slips will be going home with all 7th grade students in the next few days. Permission slips must be returned no later than Tuesday, October 16th. Students can return their permission slips to their first period class.
