"You have received rave reviews from teachers, principals,
parents and, most importantly, from the children you serve."
Bette Garner, Memphis City Schools Mental Health Center

Our artists conduct educational residencies & workshops of varying lengths:
-Script Writing
-Puppet Making
-Set Design
-Improvisation
-Movement 		-Radio Theatre
-Songwriting
-Instrument Making
-Full Puppet play
(Includes production and performance)


Our residencies and workshops have a threefold focus:

  • Students engage with the arts as a body of knowledge and skills to be acquired.

  • The arts project is a framework that integrates as many aspects of the basic curriculum as possible and allows the students to take "ownership".

  • Students learn and practice skills needed to become more resilient, caring people, better able to cope with life's challenges.

Because students find arts fascinating  and fun
they become enthusiastic, interactive participants in their education.
