Welcome to DCS Montessori circus
The students of DCS Montessori had a chance to express themselves during two May dinner theater performances of Lindsay Price’s Circus Olympus. Costumes were bright and bold, and the fun characters and staging made all feel welcome at the circus.
The circus came to town and stopped to visit DCS Montessori (DCSM) friends and families. Circus Olympus, a play written by Lindsay Price, tells Greek stories and myths through different circus-theme characters. Seventh and eighth grade students enjoyed dressing and playing circus roles as a part of their dinner theater presentation.
Zander Ferguson playing the role of Z the Magnificent was the tableside comedian, magician, and balloon animal extraordinaire for both evening performances.
The show was complete with a three-course traditional Greek meal, which students served to their audience. Students led all program committees, including ticket sales, marketing, culinary, front of the house, set, backstage crew and the cast. The students delivered two fabulous evenings of dining and entertainment for the DCSM community.
Student Jack Buan, who played the role of the celebrated Greek Geek and narrator, Merve, said, “Circus Olympus was a blast for the school and it was amazing to work with all the other cast members to create a truly wonderful experience for our entire community.”
