Jack
and the Beanstalk
  
"If you
like adventure, magic, and watching brave deeds overcome giant
obstacles, you're in for a grand treat!"
Nancy
Eddy, Artistic
Director, Children's
Museum of Indianapolis, IN
"I
absolutely love how you write the scripts. They are perfect for many
different ages. We did Jack and the Beanstalk last year as the center
of the Summer Theatre Camp. The audience loved being involved and
seeing their kids flourish within the script. The script was a burst
of encouragement as my friend and I stepped into the adventure of directing."
Christianna
Marcy, Loomis Elementary School, NE
"We had
2 sold-out shows for Jack and the Beanstalk!"

Arts Council, Branson, MO
"Jack
and the Beanstalk was delightful! The end result was happy teachers,
entertained youngsters and a sizable profit for our box office!"
The
Hemmens Cultural Center, Elgin, IL
"My
theater company just did your Jack and the Beanstalk script for our
musical summer camp, and it was amazing. Funny script, easy to do,
and it delighted kids and parents. Thanks again, and I look
forward to doing more of your scripts!"
Lynne
Childress, Building Better People Annapolis, MD
“Our
after-school students love your plays. Thank you for all you do!”
Courtney
Susman, Greenbrier Valley Theatre, Lewisburg, WV
"Jack
and the Beanstalk
was a thoroughly delightful children's play and geared perfectly to
our primary school body."
Winton
Place School, Cincinnati, OH
"Kathryn
Schultz Miller, a veteran writer of children’s plays, wrote the
script, which is specially suited to the very youngest of
audiences! Jack and the Beanstalk employs all the devices of
spectacle, sound and color that captures youthful attention!"
David
Jacobson, Life Newspapers, Eldorado Hills, CA
The
Jungle Book
 
"I
LOVE your version of The Jungle Book. I have looked at 5
different versions and yours is the best! I love the fact that
there is the focus on Community and that there is such flexibility as
far as roles. We have done the Disney Jungle Book but that
doesn't have the heart that yours has."
Diana
Guhin Wooley, LAMB Arts Ltd, Sioux City, IA
"We
had a wonderful, wonderful run with The Jungle Book! A virtual
sell out with everyone saying how fantastic it was! The cast
had a ball & I am one very, very happy director."
Sheena
Liveridge, Horncastle Theatre, United Kingdom
"I
loved the new script, The Jungle Book! Very well done. I
love your scripts!"
Zach
Hodge, Peru Elementary School, Dixfield, ME

prepared for this drama during a theater camp conducted in school.
It was an enthralling performance which mesmerized the audience!"

ArtReach's
The
Jungle Book includes all the characters you and your children know
and love: Silly and lovable Baloo, funny Ikki the Porcupine,
Mowgli's Cub-Brothers, Hathi the Elephant, flying Monkey-People and
many more. The Jungle-People are the Storytellers, keeping this
adventure fast-paced and fun!
Kid
Frankenstein
   
"I pick
ArtReach Children's Plays once again for our next performance. The
reason I pick ArtReach is because they really try to feature every
actor in the show with allotting lines to every character. Each
child has a chance to deliver some lines, hence helping each child
grow in confidence in the art of performing. ArtReach shows are
concise, and can be performed in less than an hour. This show
is creative, and extra fun for the audience!"
Clara
Stark, Director, Let Your Light Shine Youth Theatre, Columbia MO
"Kid
Frankenstein" was, as always, a great script. We've used your
plays over the years and always enjoy them so much. We love how
easily your scripts come together in a way that is both fun and
effective. Thanks for being awesome!"
Andie
Fischer, Pretty River Academy, Collingwood, ON, Canada
"I
purchased the perusal script for Kid Frankenstein. I loved it!"
Michael
Doody, Hilda Walker Intermediate School, Tinley Park, IL
"Kid
Frankenstein" is a funny, charming story about Frankie, a young
scientist, and Irving (aka Igor), her long suffering friend. Frankie
receives a mysterious book called "How I did it" by Doctor
Frankenstein, and so begins her quest to create life. She thinks she
has put the brain of a recently deceased brilliant monkey into her
creature, but has she?"
James
Strath Public School, Peterborough,
ON,

culture of ancient China with us and you might even be asked to join
the cast on stage!"

inspires us to be the best we can be."

Elementary Magnet School, Newburgh, NY

"This
play is about the fearless effort of a young woman to save her father
from being drafted into the army. She inspires us to be the best we

the world a better place, a mark of a true hero!"
