The play Overtones is presenting some "bridges" in terms of art and compelling experiences. The play is copyright early 1900's in New York. It is a cast of four women, two of which act as the subtle overtones- Harriet and her overtone, Hetty and Margaret and her overtone, Maggie. It's such an amazing piece. The students have really thrown themselves in to their roles and seem to be aware of what is necessary for them to do in order to bring their characters to life.

It's perfect since we have only girls and we have only 3 in the grade 8. I am playing as Margaret. I am interested to see what they come up with in terms of a set, costumes, and hair design. Certainly we will do some research to help determine these elements. All of this is going to be compelling because they are already making their own connections and it's going to be fascinating to see if it reflects what we find when we research what clothing and hair design was popular in the early 1900's in New York City.
