THE POWER OF INTERACTIVE LEARNING

Throughout all our shows, actors encourage kids to participate from their seats. Kids call out suggestions, cheer for the hero’s success, provide encouragement during setbacks and celebrate goals achieved along the way. By giving children a “voice”, they’re entertained while acquiring knowledge and skills that apply to all parts of their lives such as empathy, self-expression, problem solving and making good choices. We address the whole child while providing a rollicking good time!
