Rochester students put their spin on a Shakespeare classic

May 3, 2015

At Rochester Memorial School spring spells Shakespeare for the fifth and sixth grade students who performed the Bard’s “Much Ado About Nothing.”

This marks sixth grade teacher Danni Kleiman's 29th consecutive year directing the show, which was held on May 1. In addition to directing, Kleiman creates the set and produces. Helping her this year was Kate Tarleton and Karen Della Cioppa, who designed costumes and managed the stage, respectively.

Kleiman said the students start preparing for the play in the winter.
