Hannah has been attending a Saturday morning drama class. This weekend her group performed at the HK Arts Theatre as part of the drama school's festival.
Hannah's play was 'The Reluctant Dragons', and Hannah was a very reluctant dragon indeed. She really didn't want to perform.
The play was about a small town that discovers dragons living nearby. The adults want to exterminate the dragons but the children discover that the dragons are vegetarian and write poetry and eventually convince the adults to coexist with the dragons.
Hannah role was chief of police. She did a good job with her acting and said her lines clearly. But during the first performance when she wasn't speaking you could tell that she really wanted to be somewhere else!
The second performance on Sunday was much better and she stayed engaged through the performance. I thought Hannah and the other kids dd a really good job. And I was proud of Hannah for performing well even though she didn't really want to.

Some kids really get a buzz from performing. And some don't. Unfortunately Hannah didn't this time. After the show she asked to stop going to the drama class next year. She says she wants to spend more time playing and relaxing during the weekend.
