The Best School Year Ever
By Jahnna Beecham & Malcolm Hillgartner
Based on the book The Best School Year Ever by Barbara Robinson
Directed by Robin Robinson
They’re back… When anything goes wrong at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School, a Herdman probably did it! So when the teacher assigns a project that forces the students to think of compliments for their classmates – including the Herdmans – we learn a valuable lesson of not judging a book – or a Herdman! – by their cover!
Recommended for 3rd Grade and older.
This play includes a Herdman with a cigar in their mouth. They do not light it. Please reference pages 5 & 67 in the book for more information.
