Recent MFA alum Chris DePaola's "Green Screen Adventures", a children's TV show, will air in Chicago on Saturday March 31 at 7 a.m. on WCIU. The concept of the show is that actors and writers take stories written by elementary school students and adapt those stories for TV. Children can see their work come to life on TV and get excited about writing and drawing. The target audience is 1st-4th grade. Chris serves as a writer and performer. To see a clip, visit:
