Volunteerism Is Alive With The Sun City Texas Mad Hatters

By Ernesto Berturand


The citizens of Sun City Texas tend to be chronic volunteers. The magnitude of volunteerism in the Georgetown local community which comes from the endeavors of Sun City Texas homeowners is immense.

Amongst the most interesting groups of volunteers could possibly be the Mad Hatters whose members are part of the Actors and Theater Arts Guild chartered club. This particular small group of performers read and additionally enact traditional fairy tales for their audiences. The viewers are generally pre-kindergarten age young children in Head Start curriculum, Georgetown ISD primary schools, preschools and Alzheimer's patients. The performing artists are viewed by roughly five thousand boys and girls each and every year and many young children remember the Mad Hatters from prior months or even years and greet all of them with delight.

The Mad Hatters get their moniker by way of the character dress that every entertainer wears throughout a presentation. Every single Mad Hatter has on simple black colored clothes and produces their very own special headpiece which illustrates the fairytale and assists each girl or boy to focus their awareness on the story. In cases where the youngsters view the Mad Hatters' story telling from pre-K to the second grade and listen to 1 story each and every semester, they'll have been familiarized with lots of the stories once they depart second grade.

Although the Mad Hatters remain seated throughout the stories, they make the stories come alive with small props and animated gestures. They also try to rewrite some of the language in the stories to make the tales more contemporary and relatable. When a child knows the original fairy tale by heart, they take great delight in hearing a slightly different version that sounds like their own parents talking. So when the Mama Bear of "goldilocks and the three bears" says to Papa Bear when he complains that his porridge is too cold, "Oh Papa Bear, I don't know how to use this new microwave oven!" the kids roar with laughter.

The Mad Hatters have served the area for longer than ten years. The thespians practically all say that they gain more than they provide and have a passion for the work they do. As part of the Actors & Theater Arts Guild, the participants also take part in the annual variety show of music, dance and comedy routines as well as full-length comedy and drama theater productions at Sun City Texas.
