"This is a great play because the content of it is so important in our everyday classroom experiences. I received many accolades from parents and administration---which, of course, was wonderful for my teacher ego. However, as many times as people told me what a great teacher I was for putting on this amazing musical (my fourth one in a year!), I told them that you guys are the genius behind all of this. I feel guilty getting all the praise, when you make it so easy for me and my kids to shine. The biggest compliment that I have gotten from parents regarding your plays, is the equal distribution of parts -- everyone is a STAR -- no one ever outshines another!!!!

"My favorite part is the adult humor that is integrated into your scripts. Got big laughs when the prince said, "Why do I have to be the 'handsome prince', why can't I be known as the 'artist formerly known as prince'- prince?" Naturally, the kids had no idea about the significance of the line. This being my 4th play, my colleagues are getting very intrigued and wonder how I do it. I've told them how user friendly your plays are. Good news...I've had several teachers who are willing to come over to the dark side with me:) I've given out your catalogue and I think they're just about ready to give it a go!"

---Meredith Fisher, 2nd grade, Evergreen Comm. Charter School, Ashbrook, NC

"I have done many of your plays but I have to say this one is my favorite. The humor, music and script made it a show everyone enjoyed. Love it, love it, love it! It was great!"

---Melissa Deck, Teacher (2nd grade) St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School, Kenner, LA

"Just had to tell you what a smash hit Character Matters was. I have never had this many compliments on a performance (20 years). You guys are great."

--- Marcia Bridges, Teacher (music) Odyssey Elementary, Everett, WA

"What a great show! What a super way to end the year! My class and I had such fun putting it together. I was amazed at how quickly the children learned the songs! The variety of music styles didn't go unnoticed by them and I enjoyed watching their movements as they heard the music for the first time. I couldn't have been more proud of them then I was today. (I wish I had discovered you sooner.)"

---Carla Zimmerman, Teacher (2nd grade), Fermanagh Elementary, Miffletown, PA

"I thought this play was well worth the money. I was able to use the lessons from the play during the day to get my students to use their character."

---Bridgette Rezba, Teacher (1st grade), Virden Elementary, Virden, IL

"Character Matters' was very well received by the entire school. My students received loads of praise, fan mail and compliments! Woo-hoo!"

---Nance Contreras, Teacher (5th grade), Lincrest School, Yuba City, CA

"This year's first graders seemed to have a lot of trouble with moral issues. When I came across 'Character Matters' I knew it was just the perfect show for us. The kids loved it and learned a lot.The parents were wowed. I had at least 20 parents, grandparents, and friends come up to me after the show and say how amazed they were that six and seven year olds could do a show of this quality."

---Linda LaPlante, Teacher (1st grade), Glenmoor Elementary, Fremont, CA

"We liked it very much. The humor throughout the play and the directions were terrific! Parents are asking me to do one next year too. It has been a great experience for everyone!"

---Sean Albro, Teacher (5th grade) Bert Karrer Elementary, Marion, TX

"Kids loved it---as well as parents. Never imagined we would do a musical! Fabulous response. Liked the way we could view 'chunks' of plays on your website."

---Jan Grine, Teacher (4th/5th), Glendale Elementary, Baltimore, MD

"An excellent show and wonderful way to have students teach students. Our 5th and 6tyh grade Safety Patrol performed for the entire school, had a great time working on the performance and had the students spellbound."

---Dona Cogan, Teacher (5th/6th grade) Ocean Gate Elementary, Ocean Gate, NJ

"Loved it---so did the kids. Huge hit at assembly. An easy way to teach. Kids hummed the melodies at recess, in line, etc for weeks."

---Shirley Deedon, Teacher (6th grade), Valley Presbyterian School, North Hills, CA

"It was a wonderful success! I had 75 actors and a lot of help. It was the first show for the drama club and we were able to include everyone! The parents and faculty couldn't believe how enjoyable and 'professional' the show was. The positive response was overwhelming."

---Beth Dennett, Teacher (1st-5th), Lake Avenue School, Saratoga Springs, NY

"It was a school favorite! We put on three different shows and all were packed! The script is lively and funny -- they especially love the wolf. This was my third year doing this one and kids from lower grades can't wiat to be in my class so they can participate. Good work guys!" --Kerrie Wisneski, Teacher (4th/5th grade), Cottonwood Creek Elementary, Visalia, CA

"It was a hit and we had a blast. Character Traits is part of our second grade curriculum and the children learned more through this play than through any other technique we've used." --Carole Gallo and Brenda McWilliams, Teachers (2nd grade -- regular and special education), Heath Brook Elementary, Tewksbury, MA

"I loved the show! The actors loved the lines had a ton of fun coming up with little actions and dances. They especially liked to tango during the chorus of The Golden Rule! After the show the students often were heard quoting lines to each other." --Brenda Danielson, Teacher (3rd and 4th grades), Ladysmith Elementary, Ladysmith, WI

"The songs and dialogue were hilarious. Every students gets to be highlight in a song. It is amazing that there are almost no minor roles. It was very equitable. All students feel special and get a chance to shine."

---Lynne Le Forge, Teacher (1st, 2nd and 3rd grades), Sycamore Elementary, Claremont, CA
