Stories, plays, poetry and music all written by youth in the Ames area and performed by the Children's Theater in January! Recognition is one of the most encouraging ways to keep kids reading and writing. For the amazing story and event details please check out the blurb below!
Early last spring, area middle-school and high-school-aged students were invited to participate in a special collaboration among Ames Children’s Theater, Ames Public Library and the Iowa State Center. During a summer-long workshop, participants wrote stories, plays, poetry and music. A selection of these creative works has now been adapted into an innovative theater production.
