“Feed Me Stories!”
“They wanted to keep writing after the Magic Box left!”
–5th grade teacher
Stories That Soar! begins with an invitation from our “hungry” Magic Box for children to “feed” it their stories, promising to give their words and ideas back to them in a magical way. Through the talent and artistry of our ensemble of professional adult actors, these stories are then transformed into a unique, innovative theatrical production that celebrates literacy, inspires creativity, entertains and positively impacts the entire school community as they see their own stories come to life on stage.
The STS! Program Includes:
- Introductory Magic Box Assembly (20 min)
- Stories that Soar! Performance (50 min)
- Post Show Discussion with the Actors (20 min)
“My students simply don’t do this sort of work for me; they only do it for the Magic Box. It’s beautiful and amazing.”
– 3rd grade teacher
“This is the most important assembly we have at our school each year. Our kids are really encouraged to write and the teachers love it. You can build it around your curriculum and it still ties into our academic standards.” — Elementary school principal
