Mehr and Roya started auditions for children 4 to 13-years old last August at a school in the Bronx where Mehr worked as a language arts teacher. So they include quotes throughout the show from famous people. The lines also include letters to God written by the children. God send me an answer soon. And of course as young performers, there's a lot of singing and dancing.
Enrollment is free.
Mehr and Roya have paid for everything from costumes to sets. They are now applying for grants so the show can go on. Kamal Sinclair is the dance instructor. They've really re-taught me the purpose of the arts. They rehearse for nine Saturdays, with two performances for parents and the public.
