Doc, Doc, Goose!

No, not Duck, Doc. The school play this year was a funny adaptation of several Mother Goose Rhymes. This was the third school play Lauren has been in. She really loves drama and is looking forward to Jr. High to actually take classes in Theater and Drama. She and another girl shared the lead role as Doctor/Mother Goose. It was a cute play but I'm so glad it is over. I'm not cut out for "Drama". Lauren did a great job though and had fun.
This was the whole cast. Lauren is in the middle between the two nurses holding a red file folder.

Here she is treating the cow who jumped over the moon and pulled a "calf" muscle.

These were just some fun shots of Lauren and her friend Jessica who shared the role of Dr./Mother Goose. Lauren did the first half and Jessica did the second half.
Synopsis: Just think about those old-fashioned nursery rhymes and its easy to see why Mother Goose went to medical school and opened up a clinic in Nurseryland. Theres no happily ever after here! These poor nursery rhyme characters are plagued with freak accidents! A typical morning in Dr. Gooses clinic includes a cow with a sore calf from moon-jumping, a crooked man wanting chiropractic adjustment, a daredevil who burns his seat jumping over candles and a blonde juvenile delinquent who breaks into bears houses. With the help of her assistant, Nurse Gosling, Dr. Goose even runs nutritional support groups and aerobics classes for a man who eats no fat and his opposite wife, a tea-guzzling girl named Polly and a Queen who craves tarts. But will Dr. Zhivago from Fairy Tale Land close down the clinic? There are three blind mice without tails who sure hope not! Fast-paced with slapstick humor and silly situations, this imaginative weaving of nursery rhymes with modern twists offers something audiences of all ages will enjoy!

That was really cute. So much drama beforehand. Glad it turned out so well. Lauren looks right at home on stage! :o)
