At Mountain Road School, Sara directed in 07-08 the preschool through 6th grade students in an original play, The Fisherman and His Wife, performed at the Darrow School Theatre. This continues the tradition of Mountain Road School's outstanding performances over the past several years, which have included the plays "Magic Planet," "How Tall Were They," "Charlotte's Web" and "The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship". According to Aimée Johnson, a Mountain Road School teacher of almost 20 years, "Our theatre program presents such a great opportunity for the children. I have been watching this year's sixth graders on stage since they were in kindergarten, and it's so heartwarming to see how they have grown and developed as actors as well as how much fun they have practicing and performing."
