the problem:

Jordan Schwartz noticed that kids learning Spanish at school didn't have a place to practice it. She created The Children's Bilingual Theater, which puts on plays for schools and communities encouraging others to learn different languages. She won a BRICK Award in 2006.

The Children's Bilingual Theater continues the theatre and literacy outreach. To date staging 3 bilingual musicals, 4 costumed theatrical storytelling events and reaching over 3000 audience members and countless school audiences with almost 100 volunteers. The last show was "Cinderella Eats Rice and Beans" a salsa hip-hop bilingual musical. That show, our cast, crew and volunteers were included in "Democracy it is" a Wisconsin Public Television, Wisconsin Education and Communications Board educational series.
Many thanks to our supportors, Do Something and our volunteers. We look forward to a great 2008.
Regards, Jordan
