HERE'S WHAT EDUCATORS ARE SAYING ABOUT CLASSROOM MUSICALS

"As a first year teacher, your Resource Manual
and Production Notes were invaluable.
The quality of your program saved my year!"
1st Year Music Teacher, 4-8
Jefferson Intermediate, NE

"It is so rare to find a play flexible enough to accommodate my
needs…but I used 139 students in a schoolwide production of 'Danger,
Dinosaurs!' and it was our best performance ever!"
Music Teacher, k-6
Washington Elementary, FL

"My students just finished 'Music of the Planets' and they had a ball!
It is so rare that one comes across a musical that appeals to the junior
high audience. I enjoyed not only the music and show, but the workbook
and production packet as well. It was an enormous aid to me as a
director."
Choral Director, 4-8
Highland Park Intermediate, OR

"I love the show. I love the music. 'Say Yes to Life' is the most
moving musical I've ever seen for Junior High."*
Music and Drama Director, 1-12
Hilbert High School, WI

"The music is current and unbelievably captivating. My students are
still singing about their favorite subject…Economics!"**
6th Grade Teacher, D.E.E.P. Coordinator

"I enthusiastically observed a 4th grade production. It overshadowed
our high school performance. I would rate this experience as one of the
bright spots of my educational career."
