Opera In A Gym

Every year, the University of Wyoming has a traveling group that is titled, "Opera In A Gym." This group tours to different areas, taking their original show on the road for grades K-5. The show consists of operatic music that has adapted new lyrics and small speaking parts in order to teach a good lesson & tell an original story. This year was the first time the group traveled up to Montana. We were based in Helena, MT and we performed 10 different shows in 5 days. The title of the show was "Rats, Rats and More Rats!....or How Stinky Cheese Saved the Day." My friend Anne and I were cats that watched the alley rats.

We all wear Converse All-Stars because we perform in the gym at each school.


Setting up for the show.


Helena was really gorgeous (as is the rest of Montana) and we enjoyed visiting the local sights. We were able to go inside this beautiful cathedral and feel the calm and peaceful atmosphere.
