AllStarz was great! It's had positive short and longer term effects on my children. I immediately saw changes in my 6-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter in their free play and in interactions with other children. They are being more inclusive, friendlier, and kinder.

All Starz is an interactive, three character play dealing with issues of bullying and respect. It is a playful program that educates as it entertains about the importance of respecting differences. Students witness first hand the verbal, non-verbal and physical behavior that reflects episodes of real-life bullying in their school and community. They observe positive role modeling when the characters work together to come to an awareness about respecting all people. The interactive post-show discussion features the three actors who help reinforce the educational points in the play with the students through theater games and role-plays.
