This film captures the students' journey from first hearing about the play through design, audition and opening performance at the American Film Institute Theater of the Kennedy Center in May of 2002, where Mr. Sondheim attended the event.

4.0 out of 5 stars great resource for theater teachers, November 17, 2007

By	C. Savage "5th grade teacher" (staten island ny) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this dvd to help introduce my class to the ins and outs of performing a play from start to finish. It was very helpful for them to see first hand the amount of work that was involved when kids do it all themselves.
