A Christmas Peter Pan! Kids love performing A Christmas Wizard of Oz!

"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!)

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 didn’t 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

"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.
