A conversation discussing Shelton Junior Programs, a nonprofit organization that has been bringing live theater to local elementary students for 23 years. Jo Ewart, a member since 2008, explains that the program presents two plays each year for different grade levels, fulfilling Washington State's Arts Education requirements. The upcoming performances include "Jack and the Beanstalk" for grades 1-3 and "Frindle" for grades 4-6 at Shelton High School's Performing Arts Center. Jo mentions the adaptation of plays for young audiences, provides insights into "Frindle," and talks about the program's resilience during COVID, with performances resuming in 2023.
