Thought-provoking plays and musicals about social values, right and wrong life choices and their consequences
This award-winning, poignant drama centers around Megan, a young girl coping with the learning challenges associated with dyslexia and ADD.  She encounters the personification of her struggles in a dream-like world, where her journey provides a realistic look at the burden of being a student with learning differences.  It’s a world filled with embarrassing read-alouds, late papers, missed assignments, and forgotten homework.  As her struggles reveal their true nature, we are left with an uplifting look at the unique strengths these individuals possess. 

Winner of the A+ Playwriting Contest for Teachers
