Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah for Blue Ridge Kindergarten!
On Friday, January 28th, Kindergarteners at Blue Ridge Elementary School in New Milford, PA performed a variety of Disney songs and dances through NEIU 19’s Artist in Residence program under the instruction of Mr. Theo Lencicki. Mr. Lencicki’s most recent credit was in the Broadway National Tour of the musical “Hairspray.” He is a proud faculty member of the Arts Alive Institute, in addition to teaching several workshops and working with the Artist in Residence program. “Mr. Theo”, as the kindergarteners referred to him, instructed the students how to sing, dance and create stage scenery as well as props for their stage performance entitled, “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.” The students performed a dress rehearsal for their elementary school in an afternoon show. April Berger, April Rhone, Dominica Skal, Jamie Swartwood, and Tonya Wood, Blue Ridge Kindergarten teachers, volunteered to accompany and assist their students for Friday’s evening performance for families and community to view. Peg Glezen, Reading Specialist volunteered to operate the auditorium equipment and also accompanied Blue Ridge 5th Grade reading students who assisted the kindergarteners in the performance. Special thanks to Mr. Ron Parsons of Northeast Exposure located in Hallstead, PA for volunteering his time and materials with video and photography of the performance and retired Blue Ridge teacher, Mrs. Rose Berger for also videotaping the performance. Everyone applauded “Mr. Theo” for his wonderful efforts with the children.
