Lights! Camera! Action! The Fallon Middle School acting class put on a show that sure didn’t disappoint anyone. With half the school watching, the nerves must have been high, and many students described their feelings during the performance. Students said that they were nervous and excited at the same time, and most had shaky hands and knees before their debut.The teacher in charge of the whole thing, Mrs. Lightbody, made sure that everything went smoothly and everyone was entertained throughout. The actors preparation was not as intense as many think, in fact most of them said that the acting process was fairly easy and anyone could pick it up if they wished. In conclusion, the actors in the showcase enjoyed their time on stage, and suggested this class to others who had an interest in the show business.
