    Inspiration beyond the stage

    I'm trying to teach my students that storytelling is an act of service - it's a gift - and we give good gifts - serve the community with story that inspires, educates, encourages, and entertains. This one did all four. It's a beautiful show.

    Taking a play abroad

    It really was a great experience working on this play and performing it at the Fringe in Edinburgh. The students connected with the characters and the audiences seemed very moved by the show. Please pass along our gratitude to the playwright, as well.
