Castle Curriculum
Transform your Walk-in Storybook into a full-fledged stage set with the addition of this engaging curriculum. Kids will clamor to become characters in the two-act play while the theme-related lessons and creative play suggestions provide teachers with educational content that makes learning fun.
Two-Act Play
Problems arise for Queen Lily in "To Tell the Truth" when she is suddenly faced with having to say what she really thinks in a kingdom full of zany and sometimes nonsensical nursery rhyme and fairy tale characters.
Skit
The skit is a shorter version of the two-act play and requires only 2 actors. This option is perfect for smaller classes or for occasions when time is limited.
