Although the play is geared toward a young audience, Wilson said there is something for all age groups. “Surprisingly, it works for all ages,” Wilson said. “It targets 4th to 6th graders, the real at- risk age. But the adults who have seen it loved it. The school audiences really loved it. Even the private schools who saw it loved it — and that’s a tough audience.” Wilson said he feels that even the college crowd can benefit from coming to the show. Please see Play on Page 4.
