Island School’s 5th grade theatre program presents, “Stone
Soup,” directed by Peggy Ellenburg. Takes place in the medieval town
of Whisker, where two female knights must disguise themselves as boys
for people to believe they can really fight dragons. They meet Rocky,
a boy, who is called ‘sissy’ because he wants to pursue a career in
