"Play in a Day"- 3 Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig

​Play in a Day is where students attend a WHOLE DAY class from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The day will start with the students playing a few acting games and then have a story read to them. The story is the play that the students will perform. Students will then be cast and assigned roles. There will be a lunch break and after lunch, the cast will begin to work on putting the show together. The cast will work on putting together costumes, set pieces, and props all in the minimal time they have together. Then, at 3:30 PM parents and guardians can watch the performance!
