Feeling Fourth Grade

Do you remember who you were, let alone what you thought in the fourth grade? And even if you do, ah, Miss Fenner who yelled so ferociously one day she popped a blood vessel in her eye, Randy Kibler and his new hairdo like a dog with mange and Tammy Kerchner with the ski-sloped nose and macrame vests whose parents were a bit nervous because you came by every single day to visit, was it ever immortalized on stage?

Here on the Island, though, fourth graders do get to capture their lives, or at least their creative unconscious, each year as part of the fourth grade theatre project.

This Saturday at 3 and 7 p.m. the Charter School in West Tisbury takes their turn on the boards at the Vineyard Playhouse on 24 Church street in Vineyard Haven. All the plays are written and performed by the students. It’s a perfect opportunity to step back in time yourself or to groove on the present as these young thespians and writers channel the current Zeitgeist.

Tickets are $5 for everyone, at the door only.
