Adam's Artscapes March & April 2008- By Adam DeBacker, age 10

April 7, 2008
at Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts

The performance of Teddy Roosevelt and The Treasure of Ursa Major was so great. The actors and actresses were good dancers. The thing that I loved: the songs and movements. The thing that I hated was the joke about the wall in Abraham Lincoln's bedroom, because the adults played a trick on the kids.

the Miracle Worker
at Springfield Little Theater March 12, 2008


The Miracle Worker is a play about Annie Sullivan, the teacher who helped Helen Keller learn language and how to communicate. The director was great and the same with the others in the show. Thank you Anna Martin who played Anne Sullivan. -Adam



Notes about the

Springfield Symphony Orchestra
ODE TO JOY Concert March 1
I noticed the music, the chorus, and the costumes (black suits of the musicians). The symphony played Handel's Water Music Suite and Haydn's Symphony No. 30 before the intermission. It made me sleepy during the performance. Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with lyrics and singers made me notice the guys who wrote the music.
