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.

Montclair Fund For Educational Excellence (MFEE) Grant recipient |

Tuesday, 15 January 2008 |
Jennifer Levine recently received a Discretionary grant for The Miracle on Monroe Street project from the Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence. Levine will be collaborating with Naomi Kirkman, a third grade teacher at Bradford school in Montclair.
The program will include a pre-show workshop on the immigrant child, the "Miracle" performance, and a puppet-making session which encourages the children to explore unique immigrant roots and culture.
"I hope that the project will heighten awareness among my third graders about their family history," said Ms. Kirkman, who noted that the class has been learning about Ellis Island and immigration issues.
"The kids seem to be fascinated by the notion that we are all immigrants. I think that "Miracle" will bring to life in a powerful way the story of one family's experience," noted Kirkman.
