Requirements
Elementary school teachers and administration can book our shows. Performances can also be booked in non-school-based venues on a case-by-case basis. Programs are about 30-45 minutes long.
Shows can be performed between the hours of 10:00 am-3:00 pm.
There can be two daily shows at a location, with a 15-minute break in between.
What we need for our performance
We are pretty self-sufficient! We bring our own stage and sound system. Generally, we like to perform at a table with the students on the floor. We need:
- Easy access to the performance space (we have a LOT of gear, so a cart or elevator is appreciated)
- Thirty minutes of set-up time in the space before the first show
- A space to comfortably hold all the students (without squishing)
- Contact person
- Performance space for us that is about 15’ long and 8’ deep
- Chairs for adults visiting the class
- Power
- If we are outdoors, a canopy or tent
- Parking
How to group the students
Our programs are developmentally geared for specific grade levels. We recommend scheduling programs with students no more than two grades apart. We have an opportunity for ten questions/answers with the puppets, so the smaller the audience, the better chance a student has to connect personally with a puppet.
Rules for the Audience
Supplemental resources for teachers and administration
Two weeks before your show day, we will email a comprehensive packet including:
- Information about the content of the show
- Information about the logistics of the show
- An invitation for families (if appropriate, or it can also just be a notification)
- A to-do checklist for our contact at the school
