School Play
(login to rate)
Following a group of fifth graders as they put together a SCHOOL PLAY of “The Wizard of Oz,” the audience is introduced to five different students with five very different personalities. We meet Jeffrey, the social outcast of the class; Joey, the wannabe actor; Elizabeth, the competitive leader; Nick, the class clown; and Isabel, the unique artist. Director Eddie Rosenstein shows the development of these elementary students into more mature individuals. With only a limited amount of time to learn an entire play, the students are put to the test to overcome their personal issues. For example, we learn that Joey goes to see a speech therapist for a stuttering problem, and Jeffrey gets picked on by the majority of his classmates. Throughout the learning process of the play, the students gain valuable lessons that they will need for their entry into middle school. Winner of the Festival Prize as Best Documentary Film at the Big Apple Film Festival, SCHOOL PLAY is not only a great reminder of how tough it is to be a kid, but how much fun it is as well. – L.W.
