The Purim Mystery!

Today we started to create a Purim Mystery Dinner Theater Script with Ms Susan Oclassen's 6th Graders at Temple Sinai in Cranston, RI.

It's going to take place during a re-enactment of the Purim story at a costume party at a mansion owned by Mordecai, a doctor.

There also will be an auction! The world's first gragger (noise-maker), which features diamonds, rubies and gold, will be put up for auction, carrying out the Purim theme of charity for this holiday. Guess what will be stolen?

Okay, I'll give that part away. It will be the gragger. But who did it? Was it Haman? Or Esther? Or one of the King's guards? Who knows? We don't know yet, either. That will be decided by Ms Oclassen's class as the script-writing continues over the next four Sundays!

I'll keep you posted on the progress!!
