Praise for Apostrophe's

Robert Moschetti

TH Bell Jr High School

We used Apostrophe's in an advanced drama class to give students experience in organizing and running a production. They made all the decisions! At first, there was a mix of engagement levels and willingness to participate. But after reading the play together as a class, most of my students became excited with artistic ideas and began collaborating with one another. They connected with the characters and rediscovered the spark that comes with live theatre.

It is a fun comedy for the kids learning about apostrophes and friendship. Students enjoy producing this show.
