4th Grade Experiential Learning Residencies

"What an awesome experience for my 1st grader! She had an absolute blast and couldn't stop talking about it!

Great job to everyone involved!" ~Hoven, SD

I'm merely trying to analyze the complexity of your entire process! WOW! 5 days, 50-ish kids, scripts, songs, form and function, poem and prose, meter and rhyme. You whisked in and whipped up a small theatre company in a professional, kind, and especially FUN manner and atmosphere. My two children had an amazing experience and

have fallen in LOVE with the stage" ~Janice, Rapid City
