For each workshop, we try to meet two classes together in the same classroom. We will do multiple workshops at your school as needed to accommodate all classes.

I can understand what a theatre performance is (and how it is different from a movie). I can identify characters and their actions. I can identify a play's problem and solution. I can understand what it means to be an actor. I can be an actor in a classroom exercise. I can understand how the plot and characters of a play are based on or similar to a book. I can understand how to be a good audience member for a theatre performance. I can ask appropriate questions about a play and listen for the answers.
Based on the best-selling book series, Stanley folds his way around the world with his flat-tastic hijinks. Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, everyday, run-of-the-mill, ten-year-old: normal mom and dad, normal little brother, normal life. That's just the problem... for Stanley, life is too normal. He wants to travel the world, do something amazing, something no one's ever seen before. Careful what you wish for, Stanley! One night, the bulletin board on the wall above Stanley's bed comes loose and falls "“ right on top of Stanley! The next morning, Stanley Lambchop wakes up flat. Not just a little flat... really, REALLY flat! In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley "“ the ultimate exchange student "“ scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. He's stamped, posted and cancelled from Hollywood and France to Honolulu and beyond. And, whether he's thwarting a robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris, or "hanging ten" off the coast of Hawaii, Stanley is closing in on his goal of being a three-dimensional boy once more.
