James Rouryck and the Giant Potato

Chandler's Gifted and Talented Class put on a play for the school. The GT class casted all the characters, incorporated the 5th grade chorus, and put the set together. They also were responsible for getting students outside of GT to help with some of the characters.

The play was about an Irish man name James Rouryck who is lazy and doesn't want to plant his potato crop so that him and his wife can survive the winter. So he goes looking for a Leprechaun to give him some gold. He captures the Leprechaun and won't let him go until he gives him a pot of gold. Instead the Leprechaun gives him a magic potato seed that grows a giant potato in the middle of the road that leads to town. James goes looking for the Leprechaun to ask him what he is suppose to do about this giant potato that he can't move out of the road. The Leprechaun tells him that maybe he should share his "wealth" with the town.

Chandler was the leprechaun in the play. I believe he was the best character, but I am a little bias:-) They had dancing fairies, which Addisyn loved to watch. It was a great play and all the character's did a wonderful job.
