"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 did
'A Thousand Cranes' and it turned out great! The audience loved it,
and we got the community to help us fold and collect cranes which we
used as part of the play backdrop, then we sent them off to the
Children's Peace Monument in Hiroshima - 1700 or so cranes!!
Wonderful story."
Marcy
Donnelly Del Castillo, Fremont Civic Theatre, CO
"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 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
"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
"The
Lyncourt School Drama Club in Syracuse, NY performed
"Aladdin" to rave reviews from all! We loved the
script! A smashing success! Thank you ArtReach! We are looking
at "Peter Pan" or "the Wizard of Oz" next year!
LOVE your productions!"
Lyncourt
School Drama Club Syracuse, NY
"Thank
you for such wonderful plays! As you can tell, I love them
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
Takeuchi, Teacher, Taylor Elem, West Chester, OH

am still getting accolades for Aladdin
this year. It is all because of your script which was so much
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
  
"Our
elementary school has been using your amazing script packages from
your company for years! We have had such wonderful success with our
little elementary school Drama Club and it is greatly thanks to
your well written, user friendly play packages! We can't thank you
enough for your quick communication, your user friendly scripts and
your ever growing play selection choices! We are sending some
great pictures your way of our cast bringing Alice in Wonderland to
life! It might have been our favorite one we have done so far!!!"

love your children's plays! We did Alice in Wonderland with 75
students, and every child had a part! We loved that we were
