"I'm gonna leave it on for a few days," Devyn Solomon said, looking down at her green arms. Luckily, the paint is washable, and so is the bus.

    Kelly Otterness Havre Daily News Summer intern

    A young girl sits in the empty rows of chairs, watching the stage. Siena Walter is all bottled energy. She answers questions politely, but her face is beaming. The play, she said, is "really good and fun — I'm excited." On stage, a group of her cast-mates are rehearsing "Pinocchio."
