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

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

A multi-age classroom is good teaching taken to a higher level. Students here work with a variety of abilities and do more cooperative work like they find out in the world.
