Once upon a time in the Land

Fulcrum. Whenever he asked any of his ‘loyal’ subjects or his

learn this important science curriculum!

"...Having seen many of her plays
performed by students, I can definitively say that Ms. Akselrad knows of
what she writes. Her original plays are imaginative, engaging and
delightful. Following her lead, one can certainly be assured of a
successful, educational and fun-filled experience!"
