My book, Mr. Tanen's Ties has been very popular with children and teachers. When it won the Florida Reading Award (which is voted on by children), an enthusiastic teacher from Florida suggested that Mr. Tanen's Ties would make a great play for elementary school children to perform. I thought that it was a great idea! With the help of my daughter's 3rd grade class, I rewrote the book as a play. Her class, from the Wilkin's School in Amherst, NH performed Mr. Tanen's Ties THE PLAY! for the first time ever, in June of 2001. It was a smash hit!

Now elementary schools and groups have been performing Mr. Tanen's Ties. You can too. This Playkit is only available directly through me, and includes everything you will need to put on a great play. The Play, which runs 40-60 minutes, was created to be performed by a group of children, ages 8-12. All sets and props can be created by the children with minimal guidance. Many props can be easily found around your school.

The Playkit includes:

• Play Script (which can be copied.)
• 1 illustrated Production Guide (which includes help in making the sets.)
• 1 tie pattern (for making the many ties you'll need for the play!)

Cost: $50.00(includes postage and handling.)
By purchasing the Playkit you are buying the rights to perform the Play for one school year.
Playkit will be shipped within one week of receipt of order.
