[HANASHIR:6325] middle school theater

[Singalong2 <Singalong2...>]

I'm wondering if any of you teach theater/musical theater with middle school 
students. I'm looking for some good resources for plays with Judaic themes. 
Because my incoming 8th grade is not particularly musical, I will be limited 
to more drama, with a smattering of songs inbetween. A couple of years ago, I 
rewrote several Jewish Folk Tales and that worked well. Do you know of 
already written plays, perhaps for Chanukah, that MS students would relate 
to? If you are interested in musicals, Cara Freedman, out of San Diego, 
writes great shows. She has a wonderful website at
Carafreedmanproductions.com that you may want to take a look at. Thanks for 
any help.
