King Midas and the Palace of Gold

Written by Kara

On March 15, 16, and 17, I was part of a play called King Midas and the Palace of Gold. King Midas was the first Middle School Play production. The play was about the king, King Midas, loving gold so much he got the golden touch! Whatever he touched turned to gold, even his daughter. King Midas felt really bad about it, so finally, the three magical sisters took away the golden touch, but gave him donkey ears instead. King Midas felt like a fool with donkey ears, so the three magical ladies thought he learned his lesson, so they took off the donkey ears to.

There were many roles to play. My role was a citizen. There were two other citizens, and we would give gifts to the princess on her birthday, and just be regular people. Everyone would be in the songs dancing and singing, so everyone got a chance to be on stage.

The costumes were beautiful. Most people were in togas, but the royalty were in really nice dresses with jewelry. Ricky Reyes Learning Institute did everyones hair and makeup. Everyone was in there for hours getting their hair and makeup on. Most peoples makeup was really dramatic, even mine! That's me in the middle of the picture on the left

On March 15 and 16, we performed for the lower and middle school in the afternoon. On March 17, we performed for the parents in the evening.
