Synopsis

Martha takes center stage in these two funny tales about what it means to be in a play!
First, Helen must play Halley’s Comet in her school’s solar system play—but she has to learn to
use her gifts and overcome her stage fright! Then, everyone’s favorite talking dog has to face the most dreaded role for a dog—a cat!—after being cast as the Cheshire Cat in a production of Alice in Wonderland.
Young thespians will find a glossary of vocabulary and activities to help them write and act in their own productions!
