YSF Big Show | Marvin Ave Elementary


I wish a set of photos could do the Young Storytellers' shows justice. They are so funny. 10 year old kids write stories under the mentorship of WGA members & then SAG actors perform them in front of the whole class. It's nearly two hours of stitch-in-your-sides laughter.

Yesterday was the school show at Marvin Ave Elementary. The stories featured talking animals, royalty, and superpowers. Oh, and a creepy kidnapper.


Even 5th graders realize that great swords must be soliloquized to.











Ok, when the script calls for characters to kiss, it makes a room of 10 year olds go CRAZY. Seriously. Crazy.




And this is what you do when you get married. It's like winning a boxing match.



This next photo looks like a fight, but it's really a dance party.





Just because a man has a bag on his head does not mean you should automatically dismiss him as being mean and evil. This particular man was just misunderstood. We learned to share with him.




It was a small car...


Writers & actors taking a final bow!



And since we were all the way in LA, we decided a trip to The Grove was in order. We'd never been. It was fantastical. So was my Manhattan.
