THESPIANS "HAM"IN IT UP

This week on Travis and Katie's Adventures in Asia...
We performed the story of the "Three Little Pigs" for our kindergarten students. Our star-studded extravaganza featured Katie as the pig who built the house made of straw, only it was really made of banana leaves because let's face it, this is Asia. And Travis played the most furocious Big Bad Wolf in the history of Big Bad Wolves. He was a natural on the stage and just loved scarying the crap out of all his students. Enough ego boosting, on with the show...

We open our scene on the playground at the school where we teach in Thailand. Kindergarteners are gathered around for the show, eagerly waiting to see their teachers dress up and act a fool. Katie emerges as a baby pig, sucking on a bottle and playing the tambourine. The other pigs arrive and they all set out to build their houses. Suddenly, the Big Bad Wolf jumps out from behind a tree! He huffs and puffs... and adds in a few samurai kicks and grabs his belly with hunger. He blows down two houses but all three pigs are safe inside the brick house, which is actually made out of legos. The three little pigs live happily ever after and the poor Wolf is left to starve another day. Thus ends the comedy of our hammin' it up at Patanadek School.

Don't miss next week's episode: Travis and Katie decide where they will go after the semester ends in Septemeber. Stay tuned...
