About the Play
The play is by Jahnna Beecham & Malcolm Hillgartner, based on the book The Best School Year Ever by Barbara Robinson, and directed by Robin Robinson.
When anything goes wrong at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School, a Herdman probably did it! So when the teacher assigns a project that forces the students to think of compliments for their classmates – including the Herdmans – we learn a valuable lesson of not judging a book – or a Herdman! – by their cover! Buckle up for a wild ride involving a missing gerbil, a crazy cat, and more that will have audiences of all ages laughing! Recommended for 3rd Grade and older.
