With the popularity of our Go Girls! program, you might think that we are all about girls over here at Glitter & Razz Productions.  Not true.  We have been asked and have been asking ourselves, “what about boys?  What do they need?” Well, we think we have found the answer.  The answer comes to us in the form of Phil Weglarz, MFT, who walked into Glitter & Razz one day off the street and have changed the way we are thinking about the creative and social/emotional education of boys.  We are at the very beginning stages of planning classes and workshops for...
