Meet J.S. Puller and Five New Plays for Your Stage!
Stanislavski got one thing right when, in a possibly apocryphal anecdote, he commented to one of his actors, “We act for children the same way we act for adults—only better.” So this is the part where I say it loud and I say it proud: I am a practitioner of children’s theatre. I believe that children deserve the best of the best, in order to benefit. And I have the audacity to rewrite Stanislovski, making it “We write for children the same way we write for adults—only better.”

Those are great places to start when it comes to finding commonalities instead of differences." ~playwright, Michelle Kholos Brooks
