In July of 2011,
Gifford Family Theatre, a professional youth theatre company in
Syracuse, New York, did a workshop production of the
play. Ann Marie Gardinier Halstead served as
playwright-in-residence, revising the script during
rehearsals. Then in December of 2011, Ann Marie directed
her St. Lawrence University students in the updated version of the
play; they performed it for elementary school children in Canton,
New York.
The script available
on this site reflects the changes inspired by both
productions.
Below are a few photos from the two productions.
