I can see the nerves kicking in for some of the kids. They're starting to realize it.

It's gotten kids excited about something -- about something that's hard to teach because it's so foreign to them.

That's why I created so many parts, because we got so many kids.

There is a part for everyone. And if they don't want a speaking part, they can be on the set crew.

I've always done plays in the classroom, and that's kind of where my inspiration started.

If you go too much earlier in the spring, then the kids haven't had all the instruction they should have.
