On October 31, 2012, Alpha had the opportunity to partner with Thunder Outreach at Fairgrounds Square Mall in Reading. ‘Light the Night’ is a safe alternative to Halloween trick-or-treating. DRAMA has been asked in years past by Thunder Outreach to participate in this event through mime, but this year the mall actually asked Thunder Outreach to see if we could come back because they had seen the way we interacted with people.

While we did present three of our mimes, the majority of our time was spent stroll miming- playing sports with imaginary balls, bats, ect., eating food that doesn’t really exist, getting trapped/trapping other people in mime boxes, and things like that. During our time stroll miming, we played several games of duck duck goose with the children there. They enjoyed it almost as much as we did and afterward quite a few of them would stick around and watch us mime and play other things with us.
