*The Art of Play--Creating Theatre for Children* is a series of free
workshops for adults, 18 and over, on how to create challenging, engaging,
intelligent, and playful theatre for kids and families. During the first
part of her Fellowship year, Ali traveled around the country, meeting with
other like-minded makers of arts for kids--now she is combining what she
has learned with her own method of theatre creation, and wants to share it
with fellow theatre artists, teachers, parents, and the joyfully curious
and playful--to give back to our amazing community.
