Greetings,

Looking for input ASAP, feel free to check in with any of your “sources” in
the know about recommendations/ preferences for Garde’s school time
performances for 2020-21.

Here are a couple of shows offered to us, couple brand new—opinions, yay /
nay?

Anything jump out at you as a “must see” ?


*BRAND NEW !!! Grades K-5 *

In the world of WIlliam Steig, author of *Shrek*, anything is possible. A
mouse can rescue a whale, a bone can speak Polish, and a young girl can
overcome a storm to save the day. A diverse group of playwrights each bring
a unique perspective to some of Steig’s greatest books; adaptations may
include: *Brave Irene, Doctor De Soto, Amos and Boris,* and *The Amazing
Bone.* *Approximate Running Time:* 60 Minutes

inspired by The Wizard of Oz. As her fifteenth birthday approaches, Dora, a
contemporary Latina teenager, struggles with her family’s ideas about

revue that makes social studies exciting and accessible. Students will have
a blast learning about the three branches of government, the First
Amendment, presidential elections, democracy, the judicial process, and
more. Barreling through a variety of musical styles relevant to today's
youth, including rock, rhythm-and-blues, and hip-hop, *We the People* instills
American pride in audiences of all ages—and inspires them to get involved
and make a difference. *Approximate Running Time:* 60 Minutes  *Recommended
