"I've
done ArtReach shows and love how accessible they are for children.
The sound FX are always delightful and easy to manipulate. You
are doing very, very good and important work. Thank you so much. I
can't think of much else more important than infecting children with
the joy of creation."
Roberta
Gore, Church & School of the Ascension, Westminster, MD
"I must
tell you I love your plays. I have travelled all over the
country and taught and love the feasibility and adaptability of the
plays. I have done "AThousand Cranes" with Middle
School and done "Peter Pan" with elem and MS and currently
working on it with HS (This is their first "real" show-----They
love it!)
Susann
Colonna, Northern Cambria School District, PA
"I've
worked with multiple play companies in community and professional
theatre settings. So glad to have found a company geared to the needs
of elementary school. Thank you!"

Thousand Cranes

"It
was beautiful. The young leads were particularly gorgeous. Tears in
the final scenes. Well done to everyone."
Adelaide
- Gemini Collective Production, Australia
"We
had two wonderful performances. The play's theme is very appropriate
for these times. The students did a superb job portraying the
message, which brought me to the verge of tears."
Dorothy
Loveland, Bayan School, Bahrain
"The
music teacher came up to me and said it brought tears to her
eyes. The notes you sent with the play were very encouraging
and helpful. It was very special to me to get a chance to have
my students tell Sadako's story."
Diane
Purvis, Teacher & Librarian
"As
one child said... I really didnt get Sadako when you
first told us about her, but now I can see how important she is."
Thank you for such a great script that was easy to stage and which
had such a beautiful and moving message!"
Mary
Westall, St. Therese Primary School, Sydney, Australia
"Thank
you for writing such an inspiring children's play. I've been
teaching drama for three years and never have my students been more
engaged with a story."
Anne
Mantha, St. Mary Magdalen School, Hazel Park, MI
"I
hope the audience comes away from this play and thinks about
peace. I hope they realize to always remember to listen to the
wisdom of our children.
Pam
Chernesky, Director, Houlton Star Bright Children's Theatre, ME
Aladdin

"Thank
you very much for the excellent package! I'm going to direct a
full school production of Aladdin and the script, resources and
teacher's guide are perfect for what I need! The whole
purchasing and downloading process was easy, convenient and super helpful!"
Stuart
Williams, Westwood International School, London UK

because I keep ordering them! I was elated when I saw that you
had done Aladdin. I read the whole play today and I cannot wait
to put this together!"
Sara

fun for the kids. They really got into it. You make my
job easy!"

Paul School, Leesburg, FL

"Our
community theater performed Alice in Wonderland. It was great
fun and a huge hit. The children are already asking what play we are
planning next. We will definitely use ArtReach Plays again!"
Pontotoc
Community Theatre, Pontotoc, MS
The
script follows Carroll's story as you know it, infused with holiday
fun entertainment: everyone is getting ready for Christmas. The
Mad Hatter has a silly tree decorating party, the Cheshire Cat can't
understand why her stripes are green and red and the Queen of Hearts
hasn't an ounce of holiday spirit.
Alice
in Wonderland

"We did
Alice in Wonderland last year. It was enjoyed by everyone. Super
children's play and thanks to you for your beautiful script."

"We

students, and every child had a part! We loved that we were
