The Miracle on Monroe Street" played to back to back packed houses at First Night Morris County.
Dr. Lynn L. Siebert, Artistic Programmer writes, "Dear Jennifer, The puppet drama was a rare and moving treat. Thanks so much for being part of the evening." Levine returned for the second year in a row to share "The Miracle on Monroe Street" with an enthusiastic audience of sixth-grade classes at Grover Cleveland Middle School in Caldwell, NJ. In addition to these youngsters, there was a contingent of 27 college students from Montclair State University present, included by special invitation. These future teachers, representing a variety of disciplines, came to experience the power of drama in the classroom setting. "Miracle" clearly demonstrates the way one immigrant family's story brings a complicated and compelling subject to life. "We were fascinated by the way the arts can really enhance history." said Monica Taylor, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Curriculum and Teaching at MSU. Both graduate and undergraduate students felt that the show was an incredible learning experience," "It is an excellent teaching tool," added Dr. Taylor. |
