Outside the Box – Juliann Talkington
For 20 minutes on Saturday April 19, KidFest went to the animals as the Panama City Renaissance School children performed a a special rendition of Where the Wild Things Are. It was amazing to watch costumed 4 – 8 year old children participate in a play – to sit quietly and wait their turn, recite their lines without hesitation, and to appear completely at ease in front of hundreds of strangers. Bravo to Mrs. Estes, the Panama City Renaissance School English teacher, who produced and directed the performance. After a short break, the children switched languages and sang Chinese songs under the direction of their Chinese language teachers Ms. Song, Ms. Wu and Ms. Yao. And after all the performances, the kids had a great time enjoying the KidFest activities.
