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.

SCHOOL GROUP RESERVATIONS FOR THE TOUR

“The book, Click Clack Moo, has not stayed on the library shelves since you came and presented. It is always checked out.”

“I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for providing such a wonderful performance for our students.  I have already recommended you to another executive assistant so she can contact you about bringing the program to her school.  Your performers were so friendly, professional, and the setup was perfect.  It truly was a joy working with you and I look forward to seeing you again next year unless we get tickets and come to the theater instead.”
