PlayLabs are artistic experiments working with original or adapted stories. Together we re-imagine literature. Students explore story lines, characters, dialogue, and character movements to foster a deeper understanding of each theatrical element and the role it plays in a performance. Students are allowed the freedom of artistic expression and play an active role in the creative process. PlayLabs are enhanced by sets, lights, costumes and all the theatre magic we can create.
“I want to know everything, everything,” screeched Harriet suddenly, lying back and bouncing up and down on the bed. “Everything in the world, everything, everything. I will be a spy and know everything.”—From Harriet the Spy
Harriet M. Welsch is a 6th grader and a spy. But when Harriet’s friends find her secret notebook the tables are turned on her. Her classmates –even the Boy With the Purple Socks — quickly ostracize Harriet and they all form the Spy Catcher’s Club. Even former best friends Sport and Janie become members. Can she win her friends back and still keep on going with the spy business?
