Today was a Terrible Day
Parents, drop off your young artist for a day of imagination, creativity, and theatre as they create an original play inspired by Today Was a Terrible Day by Patricia Reilly Giff!
Using the themes of perseverance, kindness, resilience, and believing in yourself, students will collaborate to create their own original play inspired by Ronald's journey. Through theatre games, improvisation, character development, and storytelling, they'll work together to write, rehearse, and perform their play—all in a single day!
Family and friends are invited back at the end of the day to enjoy the world premiere of their young artists' original production.
We know your young artist won't have a terrible day with DMYAT—they'll have a day full of laughter, creativity, new friendships, and unforgettable memories!
