FINDING KING TUT

It's 1922 and British archeologist Howard Carter has been sifting through the sands of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings for six years, searching for the hidden tomb of Tutankhamen. His partner has become discouraged and urges him to quit. Making one more effort Carter discovers a mysterious stairway. Digging through 3000 years of sand and rock, he finally reaches a door marked with the sign of Tutankhamen. His monumental efforts are finally rewarded.

 Playwright Steve Seyfried has provided a thoroughly delightful trip into the past. The play brings the ancient and modern worlds together as Howard Carter truly finds King Tut and then introduces him to the world. In his afterlife, Tutankhamen becomes the superstar of Egyptian kings - complete with a world treasure tour!

THE BOOK ON BULLIES 

          From the selfish step-sisters in Cinderella to the prowling Shere Kahn of The Jungle Book, literature is filled with a wide variety of bullies. In this thoughtful and cleverly entertaining production, young audiences observe classic bullies in action and the ways the other characters meet their challenge.

Playwright and director Steve Seyfried has drawn on his 34 years of experience in children's theatre to create this unique and meaningful program. Students gain insight into the  motivations of bullies. They learn strategies to deal with situations that face them in school and beyond. Teacher prep and follow up materials are provided.

EUREKA!
Great Moments – Great Scientists
