In my-school-is-so-surreal news, I just sat around in an intimate school parlor (left over from the building's days as a genteel ladies' home) with about 25 students and teachers as Dennis Hopper chatted casually with them about Easy Rider.
Oh, and apparently our commencement speaker is Brooke Shields.
I swear, sometimes I feel like I live in Oz. Boggled.
Whoa - you work in a cool school, Kristin.
Considering one of the girls in the group last time was talking about just having read Beowulf and how much she liked it, I think Ibsen should be okay. It was a translated version, but still. She referred to Grendel as "Gren-DELLE," which was too cute for words.
Plus, krav people. What can you expect?
Now, if it was a bouquet of ASP batons...
I'm just boggled that a school other than a college has a commencement speaker. OK, I'm a little boggled about Dennis Hopper also.
I'd say it depends on which Ibsen. I'd think A Doll House would work....
This is the buffista answer I think.

So. Freaking. Jealous.

You'd probably want to hold off on the
Peer Gynt,
though.
Hedda Gabler?
That might work. Plus, guns!
Hedda Gabler?
Prolly a little too depressing for those girls. At least Nora gets to leave.
The book has A Doll House, The Wild Duck, Hedda Gabler, and The Master Builder. I think it'll work.
I'm really getting into doing this work. I just called a local private high school about getting book donations and they have a whole bunch of biographies that they just weeded. I'm picking them up this afternoon. Plus my comic shop guy is gonna donate a whole bunch, too.
