“Their performances transport the viewer to another place and time. My girls love being a part of the show or in the audience and learning the real version behind the fairy tale.” says Ammy Hanson, President of the PLA at Plew Elementary, Niceville, FL. “They enjoy seeing all the different props made out of ordinary household object being used for something new and creative. Seeing the re-purposing has inspired my children to re-purpose and recycle many objects around our home.”
