I just wanted to post a video I produced a few years back celebrating my favorite childrens theatre company Childs Play Touring theatre. I was so forunite to be a founding member and performer with this incredible group. childs play was the braing child of actor/Director Victor Podagrosi and his beautiful talented wife and dear friend June podagrosi. Victor is so missed but june as stayed at the helm of this most unique theatre and now creative director. Fellow cast mates were Jim Coates(time machine old get out of my yard guy) Karl Potthoff and Douglas B Smith, all brillient actors. Please check out their site under the video on youtube Childs Play Touring Theatre Founded in 1978, Childs Play Touring Theatre was the first theatre company to realize the value of childrens own writing and perform exclusively stories and poems written by young authors. Combining the important, imaginative writings of children with the craftsmanship of professional theatre artists and educators, They created a unique stage where childrens voices can be heard, examined and treasured. A nationally recognized, 501(c )3 not-for-profit organization, they inspire young people to read, write and think creatively. The goal at Childs Play is to help children understand the value and significance that writing and reading has on their lives. Their performances and workshops offer a powerful teaching tool that strengthens and enhances the teaching and learning process. Many of the songs were composed from childrens original poems by 30 Rocks Writer and former Childs Play Cast Member Jeff Richmond including Childs Plays Theme song Write a Story which was co written by Michael Thomas. Another well known Childs Play Writer in Residence was SNL and 30 Rock performer and writer Tina Fey Watch for the June Benefit at Second City . Its not to be missed and you will be supporting such an important inspiring theatre.
