This is a new summer theater program. The play is the end result of a two week camp, and I can't say enough good things about it. My kids did another summer theater program a few years ago, and our experience this year with Cindy has been 100% better. The kids are active and engaged ~ there is fun and games in addition to the play work. And the kids are learning about voice, projection, blocking, costuming ~ etc. In addition, they are also learning about the subject matter of the play ~ economics. (Rachael is now telling me what is a "need" and what is a "want.") --Mary Moore

What a joy to watch the kids perform what they'd learned in just two weeks. Cindy Baney is an amazing woman. My girls had a fantastic time! All the while learning about economics, bringing together a show with a valuable message and learning to perform in front of an audience. All lessons they will carry throughout their lives. They were so busy having fun they didn't even realize how much they'd learned. We can't wait until next year. We'll be first in line to sign up. --Cindy Seidensticker

"The Three Little Pigs is a wonderfully creative and entertaining performance,
which also provides a unique and motivating way to learn economics and social
studies standards."

"There is no doubt that economics plays an important role in shaping the future of our children. It is true that teaching math and English is necessary at the
Elementary schools, but how meaningful would they be when these kids grow up
not having the necessary skills to find jobs. It surprises me that some teachers
and administrators believe there is no more room for "new" curriculum, meaning
economics, at their schools. Some even argue that it is too difficult to intigrate
economics into their existing curricula. If they were to see the ways Cindy Baney integrates economics into her (musicals), I promise you they would change their minds and hearts once and for all. An eye opening experience for me to observe how successfully Ms. Baney accomplished this task. Again, another great program . . ."

"Great performance! You are so talented as a composer, playwright and teacher. It shows throughout. Keep up the great work!"

"Three Little Pigs was a joy to direct. We had 84 children in our production and the show was able to accommodate all of them. All the children had a marvelous time and learned about money matters at the same time!"
