About Michele Vacca
The Classics on Stage! Producing team (Robert Boburka and Michele Vacca) produced live, completely professional, Theatre for Young Audiences productions (“Children’s Theatre”) in the Chicago (USA) area for more than 25 years. Our “classic” children’s plays utilized our own original scripts and adaptations – all written by double Shubert Playwriting Fellowship Award Winner – Michele L. Vacca. Ms. Vacca’s scripts are distinguished by their proven ability to entertain and educate younger audiences, while having the style, verve, and wit to fascinate adults. Her twenty-four play cannon ranges from Alice in Wonderland to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, all written with a perception, insight, and most importantly, with a sense of fun, which enchants and delights all ages. We believe it is this magical appeal that makes this collection of plays for children unique. We are proud to offer it to you.
