Stories shouldn’t just sit on the shelf. Being read by one person at a time is ok, but what if you and your friends could team up to really bring stories to life? When you create a play, that’s exactly what happens! Once you join the Rescue Squad, you will:

  • share your favorite stories with fellow students

  • work together to create a play that’s based on your ideas or is an original take on a familiar title

  • create props, costumes, and puppets to tell your story

  • explore other types of storytelling by making one-of-a-kind zines and stop-motion films

On the last day, you’ll perform your play for family and friends!

Save the Date! The final performances will take place at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 12.
