Jeff Edmond, our theater director, works with our kids to write, rehearse and perform a new show each week. On Monday, they start with a fresh idea. Jeff does a great job of coaxing the story ideas from the kids’ imaginations! He will then work their ideas into a script for a real show for friends and family to be performed on Friday afternoon!
