Silly volunteers willing to have fun and sing along are needed because United Way’s Success By 6 partners are putting on A Soup Opera!

To celebrate the National Education Association’s Read Across America, volunteers are invited to read, stage and participate in a dramatic reading … and singing … of Jim Gill’s book A Soup Opera.

  • The book is a richly illustrated story about a man, a bowl of soup, and the man's comically frustrating quest to eat his soup.
  • Characters in the cast of the opera include a waiter, a police officer and the President of the United States!
  • Each Success By 6 classroom will have a kit with props, the book, and a fully orchestrated CD that includes the narration, dialogue and instrumentation.


Preschool students + opera= a fun, interactive time for all.  Be prepared to read, laugh, sing and play!

 

Thank you to our underwriter: 

The National Education Association's annual Read Across America event calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on or around March 2, the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss.  In cities and towns across the nation, teachers, teenagers, librarians, politicians, actors, athletes, parents, grandparents, and others develop Read Across America activities to bring reading excitement to children of all ages.
