On Friday, February 12, 2010, the third and fourth graders from Sparke and Stokes Elementary Schools in Island Trees were treated to a live performance of Jigsaw Jones and the Case of the Class Clown.    The students enjoyed watching some of their favorite characters come to life.  Through songs and dialog, they were introduced to characters and plot, as well as familiarized with detective vocabulary, and problem solving techniques.    The cast of four talented actors not only sang and acted but also changed scenery and props as they went about doing what they obviously love.  BRAVO, to the actors who connected the clues and facts so skillfully and to our students for being such an engaged audience.

This production was arranged for by Susan Mendelson, District Library Chairperson and was performed by Arts Powers, National Touring Theatre.
