A new kind of theatre for young people
Frozen Carrots (Grades K-8)
"The performers were prompt, professional and incredible on stage. Our students were engaged and entranced - the kids connected with the content of the show, moved by the information about hunger in Oregon and their opportunity to contribute to the solution. We expect excellent participation in our food drive because of the great experience viewing Frozen Carrots. I was highly impressed." - SD, CedarOak Park Primary School, West Linn
A musical play by Andrew Berkowitz, based on a concept by Ruth
Jenkins. Lyrics by Andrew Berkowitz; original music and stage direction by
Patrick Short.
