Musical plays make teaching core curriculum subjects more effective . . .And Bad Wolf makes it easy, memorable and fun. 

We offer musical plays as a way to bring music, theater and art into all classrooms. Don’t worry... no musical or theatrical experience is required.

These easy musical activities can be done as complete plays, skits, read-aloud,or you can just sing the songs.  No matter how you teach it, it's guaranteed to enhance your curriculum!

Many high school teachers also enjoy having their students work on plays aimed for a younger audience.  The students can then travel to local elementary schools to perform.
