Hi Conner! Great advice from Dale and Rodney! Taking advantage of leg-work that is already done by people is important. Everything you have to scratch from with will take away from the artistic process with kids. That is the theory and solution behind the Broadway JR showkits...less work for the director as the music, choreography, directing guidelines, costume ideas, set ideas, curriculum suggestions are already done for you - like a "bed in a bag" it is a "show in a box"! Interested in knowing what ages you intend to work with. Congrats on doing your research first Conner...have seen many a brilliant director fall in the whole with the business end! Cindy
