Senior Show

 At my high school we have this tradition called "The Senior Show"; obviously it's something you get the privilege of doing your senior year. Any senior can sign up to be in the performance but no one is forced to perform. Our one English teacher creates a theme and then scripts the entire production. He gives each group of seniors a skit and works with the groups one night a week for about a month. This year our theme is "books we have read through out our school career". My group is rapping the children's story "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss. There's seven of us in our group; two of the guys are rapping the two main characters parts and the other five of us are acting out the parts of the book where Sam-I-Am asks the other main character if he would eat green eggs and ham in different locations. We've been trying to come up with entertaining actions to put into our skit to make it more humorous and so far it seems to be coming along favorably. The performance is in November and I hope everyone enjoys it.
