Our performances for assemblies are a unique opportunity for discussion and learning. As with all our productions, these performances are character education themed. We provide study guides for teachers and Activity Fun Books for the students.

Photo Story: How We Create an Assembly
Here is a photo story of how we go into a school and create an event for students.
• We arrive at the gym:
• We start our Set-up:
The actors double as stage hands and techies. We set up the background and do a sound check.
The flats that mask the wings got a bit banged up in the loading and unloading so we need to touch them up a little. The director talks about a blocking change due to the small size of the space.
We gather everyone for a last minute rehearsal.
We are ready and the show opens.
• Now for THE SHOW!
• The Question and Answer Time
• The Show is Over
