FABULOUS!!!!!!!

I just used "Mother Goose's Character Camp" with 27 Preschool through 1st grade students for one of our school's Summer Camps. We only had class for three hours each afternoon for one week - and the script/songs were so easy to learn that they had it mastered for their final show on Friday! It was a HUGE success with rave reviews from both the students and the parents. Thanks for yet another great musical! A new favorite!

I love your materials.

I have the Drama Club at Jefferson Craig Elementary School in Vevay, Indiana. I use students from grades 3-6. I have about 30 students who meet after school. I have done it for 20 years. I have used Bad News Press for many of them. I like the fact that all students are on stage at the same time, which avoids chaos backstage and allows parents/ audience to see their child on stage a lot.

I tried the easier stories this year so our performance might appeal to our younger students.

I like the story, but I did not have the students sing the roles. We are chanting, rapping, or simply saying the nursery rhyme and using the songs as speaking roles. I've found the audience does not love song after song after song. ( See my review of Anansi...)

We will perform this at the end of February.

Such a fantastic play!

I am on the administrative team of a homeschool group in Alabama. We do an Elementary play every fall and a high school play every spring. This year, we had 70 elementary kids sign up, so we had to split off the 1st and 2nd grade. I agreed to direct that group of 23, and scrambled to find a musical. I ran across “Mother Goose’s Character Camp” and ran with it.



This was such a fantastic play! There were plenty of parts evenly spread out. I was able to have small ensembles do some of the song bridges, or quote the nursery rhymes, so everyone had their moment in the sun. The kids loved the variety of music styles represented in the play, the parents loved the values that were creatively taught, and everyone enjoyed the costumes as each child dressed like a different Mother Goose Character. (And as director and purchaser, I thoroughly enjoyed the humorous writing regarding properly handling copyrights.)



We will certainly be looking at Bad Wolf Press each year for future productions. Thank you so much for providing quality inexpensive theater materials!
