We did a focus group with 14-16 yr olds in conjunction with
          a site interpretation program we are planning.
 
          I would say that the principal response that most kids had
          was that they needed to participate actively. We are
          planning a small and flexible theater program using kids as
          actors to do small-scale plays about various themes here at
          the Garden. I haven't tried it, but I've talked to those who
          have, and they've had pretty substantial success with both
          the actor/participants and their audiences (who like to see
          peers do their thing.)
