Note: While I have had students in grades three through twelve produce this play and all love it (including a noted national theater company and a dance company - yay!) I generally recommend it for 4th grade and up. Of course you are welcome to take it on for any level, revise it as you wish — but it might be a bit long or a tad too advanced for most 3rd grade classes. Otherwise, enjoy; it's lighthearted and fun, and students everywhere have thoroughly enjoyed producing it.
