           Whether you are looking to stage a kids' show on a shoestring budget with a small cast or able to mount a main stage production with all the bells and whistles, there is a show here all ready to go.  Each show comes complete with plenty of production helps, guides for staging, costumes, props and scenery, and even some coloring/activity pages. 
     Hope you will enjoy mounting a production of your own with one of these shows.  All it takes is some creativity and determination.  Oh, and of course, HONESTY, SINCERITY, BRAVERY, INTEGRITY, COOPERATION, ​​​​KINDNESS, PLANNING AHEAD, APPRECIATION, the importance of FAMILY, some good hard WORK, and not letting FEAR get the best of you!
