"Dear Laggie and Grillo Fan:

 

My latest and third children's rhyming picture book has been turned into a play by the La Jolla JCompany's Theatre for Young Audiences or TYA.

The first performances took place at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center on Sunday January 4th.

Now the troupe will be taking them around San Diego County to schools, community centers and other locations. The play features actors and puppets and is being directed by accomplished children's theatre professional Becky Cherlin Baird of Kids On Stage.

JCC Education Director Justin Lang wrote the very funny and upbeat adaptation of my book "Laggie and Grillo: An Unlikely Friendship." Contact Justin at Justinl@lfjcc.org to find out how you can bring this wonderful production to your organization. I hope you get a chance to see the book's multicultural fun and frolic brought to life! Phyllis"
