"I cannot begin to tell you how much the older kids loved doing Macbeth and how much they learned. It was a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare. To the teacher who has never done one of these shows: Do it! You will never be the same, nor will your students."
---Donna Baker, Homeschool Teacher (4th-8th grades), Logan County Home Educators, Russelville, KY
"Macbeth, the Musical Comedy went with the curriculum, was funny, fun, and a hit. You guys just keep doing a great job! Thank you."
---Marlene Smith, Teacher (8th grade), Upton Middle School, Bridgeman, MI (and former president of the Michigan Reading Association)
"We did an outdoor theater version of Macbeth, the Musical Comedy last night (with a formerly unmotivated group of sixth graders) and watched them magically come to life on stage. The entire audience grinned and laughed the entire perfomance. It was truly mesmorizing and electrifying."
---Teresa Lewis, Curriculum Director, Discovery Academy, Edgewater, FL
"While looking for activities appropriate for middle school age students on the Internet, I stumbled across a website that was offering the play in a rather different form -- a musical. A comedy. A musical comedy. A quick look at the script convinced me that it was just the right combination of tasteless jokes, parody, and original plot to be a great success. As we rehearsed, the class added ideas of their own (equally tasteless), and we had a hit. In fact, our music teacher ended up ordering the entire catalog of musicals from Bad Wolf Press, and we have been pleased with all of their material. The folks who write these things have a good sense of what's age-appropriate, what's funny, and what constitutes a song that kids as young as kindergarten can sing."
---Lynn Hughes, Teacher (6th grade), The Miquon School, Conshocken, PA
"We did Macbeth, the Musical Comedy and it was spectacular! We loved it and the kids had a blast. We have really enjoyed your plays. The staging tips are great for our group. Our plays are directed by homeschooling parents---many of whom are directing for the first time. Your plays are easy to stage and costume and the kids and parents have enjoyed great success using them."
---Kim Clayton, Parent (kids ranged from 5 to 13), Columbia Homeschool Community, Columbia, MD
"What a great learning tool in middle school to begin the study of the Bard."
---Dottie Hogan, Teacher (8th grade), Holy Spirit Episcopal School, Houston, TX
"The kids loved putting on this play and gained a greater understanding of the original play. It was great as a first musical for the kids. It was an easy play to put together with limited time and supplies. Plays and musicals are great ways to get the children interested in the curriculum. They think they are just having fun and don't even realize all that they are learning. The catchy tunes help them remember key details in a fun way."
---oan Fontaine, Sequoyah Elementary, Shawnee, OK
