4-6Stagestruck series.
Based on real events, this series recounts the summer Wallach, then twelve, started Random Farm Kids' Theater, a theater company created and run by kids. These fictional narratives highlight the challenges of sustaining a business venture (e.g., hard decisions, personal sacrifice, stage moms). While the plots are thin and both books end abruptly, the premise is inspiring. Review covers these Stagestruck titles: Curtain Up! and Showstopper!.
