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

give bac<span>k to our amazing community.<br> <br> <b>How:</b><br><span>
