The Mathmagician of Digitopolis

"You know, I get the feeling that everything in Digitopolis is very difficult."

"But on the other hand, you'll find that the only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that's hardly worth the effort."
Last week, for three performances, Seth was the king of Digitopolis, mathmagician extrordinare, in the Concordia middle school's rendition of The Phantom Tollbooth. Do you see his magic wand (aka, a giant pencil) sticking up above his shoulder from the folds of his robe?

The evening ended with the entire cast dancing on the stage in rotating rows, instead of taking bows. So cool!
It's hard to make a 6th grader look old... scary make-up helps, I guess!
After the performance, we were privileged to speak to to the king of Digitopolis in person!
The mathmagician and Milo, pleased with their performance.
There were 100 students included in the entire production, which included The Phantom Tollbooth, Wonderland High, and a number of funny commericals and news spots between acts. The directors of the middle school drama pulled this off in an amazing way... so neat to see all the students working together. And of course Seth was a star, at least in this mom's opinion!
