Participant comments:
“Thanks for offering 'Charlotte’s Web' at Kingsbury. Our entire 3rd Grade attended the show last week. We read the book at school and the kids enjoyed seeing a different interpretation of the book. My third graders did mini murals from scenes of 'Charlotte’s Web,' read the book ahead of time, and did several learning activities to reinforce the characters in the book. We had a great discussion after the play comparing and contrasting the book to the play.
Our school also saw 'Sideways Stories from Wayside School' last year and LOVED it! Anytime we get a notice about shows that Kingsbury is hosting for schools during the day, we make it a priority to come. We can always count on a high quality show that the kids will enjoy. Thanks again for this opportunity.” - Whitney Jordan, Teacher
“My favorite performance of late was attending the Peking Acrobats as a chaperone to our 6th grade class. After submitting this option to our 6th grade teachers, they decided it would be a worthwhile event, and we were NOT disappointed. It was a great experience for me, the teachers and especially the kids, and the show was entertaining and lively. I think the Kingsbury Hall outreach program is fabulous and the staff is so friendly and helpful. What a great discovery in finding this program! Thanks for offering such amazing shows for our children.” - Julie Ahlander, Parent
(On Speak Theatre Arts school performance) “I think it was a great show for everyone to see. It opens your eyes to so many things and in a way makes you feel sad on how different races are treated. It teaches you one thing. The only race is the human race. It was a great show.” - Maddie, Student |
