Reader's Theater consists of Presley Slaba, Jackson Rolston, Trenton Rolston, Charley Kocer, and Macee Stimpson. Our speakers transform into multiple animals for their rendition of 'Barnyard Slam!' Characters include a spotlight-seeking Yo Mama GOOSE (Presley), a thoughtful quack of a DUCK (Trenton), a moo-nificent COW (Macee), a Stage-HOGger (Jackson), and a limping equine with a chronic Charley-HORSE (Charley). Characters had to transform into many other characters, including a mouse, another horse, a lamb, a turkey, a farmer, a rooster, and a little bird. This hilarious rendition of 'Barnyard Slam' by Dian Curtis Regan has every audience roaring with laughter.
