Child Actors on Stage

"When Mrs. B—E was helping us select the picture, we chose Child Actors on Stage because we thought kids back then liked dressing up in costumes as much as we do. We looked at the old picture and decided what we wanted to be and how we would dress. When the day came to take the photo, we got into our costumes, got our props ready and we stood on the Fawn Mountain stage. We had to get all our smiles and laughs out of the way because we noticed that the child actors in the old picture looked sad, so we practiced our sad faces. Then we took LOTS of pictures. After looking at the pictures we decided which one to use. And now, we are submitting our recreation of Child Actors on the Fawn Mountain Stage."
