A
I
always
like
to
begin
sharing
with
the
public
about
who
we
are
and
who
is
sharing
this
stage
with
me
today
so
carol,
can
you
give
us
a
little
bit
about
your
past
and
how
you
got
to
ames
and
why
you're
involved
with
children's
aims,
children's
theater.
C
Okay,
I
got
to
aims
a
very
long
time
ago
and
I
came
from
new
york
city
and
it
was
a
bit
of
a
shock
to
come
to
this
community,
because
when
we
came
to
this
community
there
were,
there
was
no
chinese
restaurants,
there
were
no
bagels
and
there
was
no
cy
stevens
or
the
wonderful
things
we
have
today,
and
but
we
had
a
library-
and
that
was
a
very
favorite
place
for
the
anchor
you
bet.
Well,
it
was
a
it
was
a.
C
C
Community
theater
was
the
pattern
for
children's
theater,
because
I
was
on
the
board
of
the
ames
community
theater
actors
and
we
realized
we
needed
a
children's
theater
and
I
had
very
teeny
little
boys
and
and
children's
theater
really
happened
because
of
the
need
and
because
I
learned
from
actors-
and
so
now
it's
a
lot
of
years
ago,
because
we
started
it
before
a
lot
of
our
audience
was
born.
We
started
in
1968
and
we're
still
happening.
A
And
those
children
is,
you
know,
I
have
somewhat
of
a
bias
that
children
make
things
happen
in
a
community.
So
how
wonderful
that
is
well.
C
I
was
talking
to
somebody
in
actors
the
other
day,
one
of
the
current
actors
board
members
and
she
was
saying
that
they
get
their
adult
performers
who
were
in
their.
The
youth
are
in
their
shows,
and
then
the
parents
come
pick
them
up.
Then
they
auditioned
and
they
are.
C
How
that's
essentially
I
mean
she
was,
that
was
just
I
didn't
know
that
happened,
but.
A
B
Yeah
well,
I
came
to
iowa
state
and
ames
a
long
time
ago
as
a
student
and
then
just
we
never
got
out
of
town,
because
who
could
leave
this
community?
You
know
I
mean
and
in
part
because
of
cy,
stevens
and
and
the
iowa
state
center,
which
now
I
am
blessed
to
work,
and
so
yeah
I've
been
there
for
about
16
years.
B
A
And
this
project
called
play
with
words.
Thus
you
know
we're
playing
around
with
those
words
on
the
page
in
many
many
ways
started
many
years
ago,
more
so
than
I
really
want
to
think
about,
because
it's
probably
been
five
years.
Four.
A
C
But
you
know
it
was
variations
on
a
theme,
because
what
had
happened
is
sarah
and
I
talked
about
possibly
a
collaboration
between
children's
theater
in
the
center
and
outreach,
and
there
was
a
group
in
new
york
that
did
something
like
this
and
we
tried
to
connect
with
them.
We
tried
to
connect
with
them,
it
just
wasn't
happening
and
then
we
said
we
can
do
it.
So
what
we
did
is
we
got
the
library
involved
and
the
library
was
already
involved
in
their
way.
A
C
You
had
a
writer's
workshop
and
it
was
in
place,
so
we
had
the
writer's
workshop.
Children's
theater
could
do
the
production.
Where
do
you
have
that
show?
Where
are
you
going
to
perform?
Because
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
write,
works,
we're
going
to
adapt,
works,
we're
going
to
have
a
cast,
and
then,
where
do
we
go?
Well?
Oftentimes?
We
do
the
city
auditorium,
we
do
the
auditorium
of
well.
We
have
none
now.
C
The
school,
the
grade,
schools,
what
is
better
for
these
children
than
to
be
in
a
real
theater?
What
about
fisher
theater?
What
about
iowa
state
center
and
sarah
and
I
collaborate
or
talk
a
lot
about
theater
and
uh-huh?
And
so
I
asked
I
said:
what
do
you
think
and
then
she
I
thought
this
is
a
great
idea
and
then
and
then
she
talked
to
the
powers.
B
C
A
C
C
A
B
C
Not
our
process
really
takes
a
long
time
because
we're
doing
the
creating
and
and
creating
the
entity
a
play
often
times
in
this
community,
because
I've
been
involved
in
several
takes
six
weeks
from
time
of
audition
to
time
of
production
and
that's
part
of
this
process
as
well.
But
the
writing.
Why
don't
you
share
with
us
about
that?
How
is
that.
A
There
there
is
a
another
portion
to
get
to
that
trying
out
and
that's
going
to
start
here
in
this
october,
with
a
kickoff
with
the
three
of
us
and
our
author
david
zimmerman.
A
That's
going
to
help
with
our
writing
workshop,
where
we
will
invite
all
of
our
our
students
in
6th
through
12th
grade
to
the
library
and
in
the
community,
to
start
kind
of
an
8
to
10
month
long
process
or
weekly,
meeting
monthly
meetings
or
bi-monthly
meetings
of
practicing
writing
and
creating,
but
they're,
creating
something
special
this
time,
because
they
have
a
certain
focus
and
we.
C
C
David
zimmerman,
who
is
a
professor
of
creative
writing
at
the
university
at
iowa
state
university
last
year.
He
was
our
facilitator
and
he
has
agreed
to
be
the
facilitator.
He
is
charismatic.
I
I
really
encourage
our
audience
to
find
or
seek
out
talented
or
children
who
young
people
we.
We
want
middle,
school
and
and
high
school
area,
that's
gilbert
and
area,
kids
and
and
of
course,
ames
and-
and
we
want
them
to
come
because
it's
such
a
wonderful
experience
and
the
they
meet.
C
I
think
we
say
once
a
month
during
that
period
and
you
don't
have
to
come
to
every
single
one.
You
could
write
and
and
it's
plays
and
it's
it's
it's
stories
we
adapt
and
we
last
year
we
even
had
music.
We
had
a
young
boy
who
who
did
music
so
and
let's,
let's
give
david
a
plug
david.
Has,
I
think,
three
publishers,
three
problems.
C
Only
two
in
the
library-
and
this
is
this
is
one
of
of
david's
books
and
it's
right
here
at
the
ames
public
library-
and
we
are,
we
are
very,
very
fortunate
and
the
the
students
who
participate
learn
so
much
and
we
have
homeschool
kids
too
so
and
we're
gonna
do
we're.
Gonna
beat
the
bushes
and-
and
we
hope
our
audience
too,
because
it's
such
a
positive
experience
and
look
what
will
happen
for
a
resume.
A
Well-
and
I
think
too,
that
it's
kind
of
the
book
ends
here
and
maybe
that's
why
we
logically
sat
the
way
we
did,
because
you
know
we
begin
here
and
just
as
fabulous
as
it
is
to
put
the
production
on
a
real
theater
writing
and
having
someone
that
is
a
real
published
author,
award-winning
author
new
york
times
reviewed
author
to
assist
you
in
writing
and
that
person-to-person
time
is.
I
mean
how
often
does.
B
That
happen
either
so
affirming
I
was
so
it
was
so
wonderful
to
watch
him
work
with
the
kids
last
time
because
just
to
see
that
cycle
and
to
see
the
process
and
to
see
him
help
them
develop
their
ideas,
but
you
know
affirming
every
step
of
the
way.
This
is
great.
This
is
great.
Have
you
thought
of
that,
or
even
not
I
mean
just
planting
little
seeds
to
how
how
they
can
develop
their
story.
Ideas.
B
A
B
B
A
Going
on
up
here,
it's
a
lot
going
on
very
surprising
and
sometimes
it
it
is.
You
know
that
the
greatness
that
we
see
in
a
lot
of
our
authors,
but.
C
Our
one
of
the
things
that
we've
discussed
is
how
we
had
this
is
our
third
correct
and
there
were
two
before
and
totally
different,
totally
different.
Of
course,
there
was
a
different
director
on
that
one
and
different
facility.
The
first
one
had
what
wasn't
david,
but
it
was
very,
very
successful
and
we
were,
we
were
worried.
Would
the
center
giving
us
essentially
a
gift
of
fisher
theater?
I
mean
we
pay
some.
Would
the
center
administration
like
what
we
are
producing
and
we
did
and.
C
A
C
Almost
adapted
adapted
that
she
won,
she
chose,
she
helped
us
choose
the
submissions.
Oh,
we,
the
the
the
participants,
have
a
deadline
and
they
have
two
deadlines.
They
have
one
to
submit
for
review
and
then
their
final
submission.
So.
C
What
susan
norris
did
our
director
for
our
first
production?
She
she
took
it
on
herself
and
she
she
helped
us
select
the
works
and
she
adapted
them
with
the
cast
right.
B
C
Shrug
who
was
new
to
the
community
and
he
he
essentially
he
adapted
and
also
he
had
he
directed,
but
he
did
it
more
himself.
He
he
didn't
interact
as
much
with
the
students
as
a
as
writers,
but
very
much
so
as
a
director
right
so
yeah
and
different
now
are
we.
We
are
we're
looking
for
an
adapter
director
at
this
point,
so
here
you
go
audience.
C
C
A
Is
recruiting
students
or
children?
Well,
I
guess
they
don't
want
to
be
called
children.
Sixth
year.
B
A
A
So
about
six
to
eight
weeks
before
that
we
need
to
have
tryouts,
and
so
it's
it's
a
quite
a
long
process
that
we
are
all
together.
But.
A
Those
writers
right
so
so
we
need
the
writers,
and
so,
if
you
know
some
students
out
there,
that
would
be
interested
in
writing
or
are
interested
in
writing
or
just
are
you
know,
maybe
a
slight
little
inkling
of
wanting
to
write,
send
them
to
us
in
october.
A
Look
for
the
calendar
october,
11th
october
11th
at
2
o'clock
here
at
the
library
upstairs
in
the
dan
foss
room,
and
we
will
and
share
with
them
the
timeline
the
the
outline
of
what
we
want
to
have
happen,
and
just
enough
of
of
details
to
help
them
work
through
what
needs
to
be
done
but
be
creative
on
their
own.
Well,.
C
You
know
there
are
young
people
who
already
have
stories
correct,
and
so
you
bring
a
story
if
it
could
fit
into
the
fractured
fairy
tale
theme.
So
you
could
do
that,
but
it's
not
a
major
major
commitment,
of
course,
because
you
don't
have
to
be
at
every
meeting
right.
You
don't
have
to
be
because
you
can't.
A
Help
with
the
motivation
and
the
interaction
with
david
and
to
kind
of
hone
those
skills.
C
A
C
C
A
It
is
a
wonderful
collaboration,
and
I
want
to
publicly
thank
you
all
to
include
you
know
in
including
the
library
and
and
giving
us
this
opportunity
be
to
be
a
partner
with
all
of
you
and
so
carol.
And
sarah
thank
you
for
coming
today,
and
this
is
the
published
version
of
the
first
share.
A
We
do
have
it
on
the
shelf,
so
if
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
what
we
have
done
in
the
past,
you
sure
can
do
that.
Moms
and
dads
are
welcome
to
do
that
as
well.
It
is
located
in
the
young
adult
area,
but
we
do
like
to
play
with
words
in
the
library
that
is
kind
of
a
characteristic
of
when
you
come
into
the
library
we
are
playing
with
the
words
in
the
story,
time
room
on
the
stage
on
the
shelf
and
just
sharing
them
with
all
of
you.
