"What a wonderful resource for our teachers!"

"We have three private schools and run a summer camp for school age children during the summer months. We love Play-Ground Theatre shows and workshops, but this resource allows us to carry the creative enthusiasm with us each day! It has thus far been a wonderful tool for our teachers to use to get things moving for the day and help our students show off their creative talents! Thank you Jeff and Mia! Your book has helped add so much to our Summer Camp Fun!"
