Amazing. Enriching. Innovative. Immersive. Inclusive.

This whole project could not have come together in a more amazing way! Thank you to all involved.

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure to be in Wisconsin for the Dare To Dream premiere of a Theater for the Very Young (TVY) production of The Pout-Pout Fish. The project was put together by Rachel Thuermer, artistic director of Dare To Dream, and it featured puppets by Annett Matteo, music by Cory Cullinan (aka Dr. Noize), costumes by Lyn Kream, creative support by theater educator Karen Sharp, and the acting talents of Rachel, Dan Burkey, Mary Burkey, and Rissa Kream. Behind the scenes were funders and supporters and many, many volunteers. The Saturday performances were at the Mead Public Library, where I also did story times last Thursday and Friday; and the Sunday performances were at the John Michael Kohler Art Center.  Sheboygan and the surrounding communities show great support for literacy and the arts, and it was fantastic to see so many children and families at the events.

Congratulations on the success of all the Pout-Pouts. Those kids are enthralled!

The pleasure was mine! What a great experience.
