Throwback Thursday to the Midsummer Experience cast keeping things light before our show at @em3cougars. Love this amazing cast, as talented as they are genuine. Huge thanks to EM3 for bringing us in and for being such incredible hosts. And as always, thanks to @unitedartswake for facilitating our in-school performances and helping us bring our love of Shakespeare to so many students!

Today Aggregate and @theallimaecarnesstudio families joined other community members at @ridgeraleigh to package food to send for world hunger relief through @riseagainsthunger. Not only was this meaningful to those who will receive the food, it was also meaningful to us for the chance to work and have fun together helping others. Thank you to all who came out to support!

We forgot to take pics when we brought Midsummer to Wendell Middle earlier this month, but somehow we found these TOTALLY NOT PHOTOSHOPPED pics of our visit. Swipe and enjoy!

Thanks to @wendell.middle for having us and @unitedartswake for helping that happen.

This is what you call an early morning glamor shot.
📸💄🤩 (Sorry, cast. Blame @matthewteaches) “The Midsummer Experience” is back at it this week! We loved coming to @reedycreekmagnetms today. Thank you to their PTA and @unitedartswake for bringing us in. We love coming to RCMM every year; it is always a fun time!

(Also, big 👏👏👏 to @kate_e_milligan, our amazing understudy/swing, for her first show going on. She was ready and ate it up! She and @msb_voice are swinging in tomorrow, too. Theatre is a blend of art and logistics and it’s an amazing thing when they work together so well.)

We are feeling so grateful for the nearly 40 students, parents, and siblings who came over the past month to help on our set build days for our upcoming productions of #AliceinWonderland and #IntotheWoods with @theallimaecarnesstudio. Not only was everyone generous of their time, they were also generous in their spirit. What a great time we had! Thank you to everyone who came out to help!

@unitedartswake released their end-of-year video for artists-in-schools, and we’re so glad to be featured twice, including the final bow. It’s hard to get video when you’re on stage, so we’re grateful to be able to see these clips. Look at that full-body commitment by @maxsunlove, @yerfriendjesscuh, @nochefdj, @natmsherwood, and @matthewteaches in our Daytime TV Talk show segment of “The Midsummer Experience.” Shakespeare isn’t boring or inaccessible in our part of the woods!

Shadow puppets are the best way to distract from pre-show nerves. 🎭😌

We had such a great time joining @ollsraleigh this semester to put on #aladdinjr, which performed this past weekend, directed by @matthewteaches. These students worked so hard! It was the first time doing theatre for most of them, and I think we’ve made a few lifelong theatre fans as a result.

Congratulations to the cast and crew on a wonderful production! And huge thanks to all of the parents and administrators that helped us to make this show soar.

Meet Aqua-lyta!

Today was the last day of our six-week Midsummer homeschool class, and we crafted someone very special to join our class photo. Throughout our sessions, we had to call on @matthewteaches’ gigantic water bottle to stand in for characters in scenes when we had more characters than students. The first and best role? Hippolyta. As a celebration of the end of class, students created a proper face, veil, wedding gown, arms, eyelashes, etc. for this Queen of the Amazons. She then had to experience the life of a theatre teaching artist for the rest of the day, as Matthew didn’t have the heart to…well…deconstruct her.

What a fantastic class with fantastic students, and a great momento to boot. We have a feeling you haven’t seen the last of Aqua-lyta…or our homeschool classes.
