While the actors are children,
their support comes from many
,-:)urces. Parents help the kids mem-
orize their lines, attend rehearsals
and have either purchased or made
the props and costumes.
For play rehearsals, Rabbi Elimelech
Silberberg offered a room in the Sara
Tugman Bais Chabad Torah Center in
West Bloomfield.
The cast takes care of each other.
randon Rosenblatt, 4 1/2, makes sure
'That when all the kids are wearing
hats, his sister, Stephanie, 8Y2, has
hers on, too.
Jacob Schwartz, 6'/2, volunteers with
his mother Robin. Thanks ro the
Schwartzes, every child in the play is
wearing a different sort of head gear,
from the red-and-white stripes of the tall
Cat-in-the-Hat to Schwartz's gold cre-
>Arion of a broom without handle glued
to a riding hat.
Every interested child has a parr in
the play. Blake Zucker, 6, an autistic
child who loves to draw, mixed the
paints and created the scenery.
Eleven-year-old Danny Friedman
runs. with a purple crown on his head,
singing louder than anyone else. As
\Danny sings, his mother, social worker
'Linda Friedman, recalls the doctor who
told her that her child would never
speak or walk. Because Danny always
loved listening to music, she took him
to music classes. There she met Miss
Laura, a music therapist working in
schools and nursing homes.
Linda Friedman and Danny intro-
duced the music teacher to the
•
\;Shemtovs.
In addition to acting and singing,
Danny — the boy who was supposed to
never speak — is preparing for his bar
mitzvah with the help of Rabbi Elliot
Pachter and Cantor Earl Berris of
Congregation B'nai Moshe in West
Bloomfield.
Even though the class has been
rehearsing for four months, Laura
Schwartz is still rewriting the play. Even
at this session, she makes adaptations
where necessary, explaining, "If a child
needs a part that is a word instead of a
line, his part becomes a word."
Miss Laura, the cast and crew work
in harmony through the long rehearsal.
They show respect, patience and team-
work. Afterwards, the atmosphere calms
D as the children cool down with ice
cream. Its a room filled with friends,
smiles and pride. E
