Stage Presents is a documentary that interviews children who participated in Seussical Junior in 2012, and interviewing them once again 10 years later.
I like that the storyline continues a decade later. It emphasizes the Seussical participants' perspective and how it developed over time. We hear their opinions about theater and how it changed their lives. The quality of the camerawork is suitable for exhibition, despite it being a bit shaky at times - however, that adds to the effect of being in a chaotic theater. The vibrant costumes suit the story because they provide an energetic atmosphere to the musical. Seussical costumes are typically colorful. The film is primarily shot at the theater where the musical was performed. It suits the story by making the audience feel as if they were in the theater with the subjects. The music the kids perform adds to the story by showing us how much fun they were having and how it helped them come out of their shell. The subjects start off as little kids performing in Seussical Junior. 10 years later, they revisit their participation and describe how it changed their lives.
The director and producer of this film, Greg Jeschke, is remarkable. He really helps portray the message these kids are trying to bring to the world. My favorite part is how a decade later, the kids who were a part of the musical continue to share their love for theater. To me, it hits close to home because I also have a passion for theater. The older footage is lower quality and more pixelated than the current footage. Other than that, it's terrific and the older footage doesn't detract from the storyline.
The film's message is to pursue your passions and create your own opportunities. We are reminded to live our lives to the best. After watching this film, young kids may definitely be motivated to follow their dreams.
O give Stage Presents 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. I recommend this film for the KIDS FIRST! film festival because it inspires kids to follow their dreams and provides motivation to others. Kids and parents would really benefit from watching this title. By Sydney S., KIDS FIRST!
