    Students loved it

    I just wanted to drop a line and say how much we enjoyed doing this show for our Flash Play (a play in 24-hrs). The students loved it and I greatly appreciated the flexibility.

    Play for short rehearsal periods

    We had a fabulous time with Every Novel You Read in High School (in 25 Minutes or Less). We won the subsection contest, the section contest, and we appeared at the state festival. We actually only had 17 days to get it ready due to some pandemic restrictions, but our students were beyond wonderful. It was a great script to work with during this chaotic time, and we looked forward to being together every day (even while wearing masks). There was much laughter and excellent ensemble work.
