Learn More About Junkanoo!

Yearning to Breathe Free was professionally developed for school touring.  The script has many creative suggestions for set and costumes.  Principals and teachers love the tie-ins to immigration issues, American immigration history discussions.  This script was performed literally hundreds of times in schools and theatres all across the country.


"Kathryn Schultz Miller's work really transcends the form of plays for young audiences. The body of her work speaks to the human spirit. Her ability to find theatrical forms that hold the precious stuff of ideas together is quite remarkable."
Steven Anderson, Artistic Director, Phoenix Theatre of Columbus
