Who are the performers?

They are special people with unique skills!

Gregory “Mayhem” May was accepted to the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Clown College in 1990.  He then joined the circus itself and toured North America for the next three years.  He has performed on the Late Show with David Letterman, in two national Visa commercials, on the White House lawn with Shari Lewis, and at local dinner theaters. His variety of skills, constant energy, and performance flexibility make him an excellent choice for any function.

Your kids won't be afraid of clowns anymore after "Clowns Are People Too" shows the exciting transformation of a child into a clown!  Betty arrives as herself and performs and teaches some funny clown skills.  Then she adds a basic clown face and full clown outfit to a volunteer child --adorable!

"Clowning Around" brings you Betty as Brooklyn the Clown, with her laugh-a-minute circus act!

Sponge clown noses for everyone to take home are available if requested during scheduling.

Puppet shows are usually performed onstage, with the kids sitting in the audience, watching, & they certainly don't get to play with the puppets.  But during our "Wizard of Ahhhs," your kids become the puppeteers!

This performance is an interactive musical program, presented by a registered nurse, emphasizing the importance of being healthy and staying healthy.  Its message to preschoolers and young elementary students is that there are methods we can use to handle our fears about going to the doctor's office, the dentist, the eye doctor, or the hospital. We should go see them even when we feel just fine, so that we can continue feeling just fine. 

Now a retired dentist, Dr. Frank brings his grandfatherly style to his folk tales and original stories.  His use of puppets and props will have everyone rolling on the floor laughing, and even the youngest preschoolers will be enthralled during his entire program, and then beg him to come visit them again.

Some of the themes that Dr. Frank presents are:

Native American stories

Animals Stories, such as How Animals Spend Their Winters

Elephants & the Circus theme

A professional musician with award-winning CDs, Brooksie Wells has a gazillion songs in her head, most of them original, and her guitar knows them all, too!  She will have the audience on their feet, doin’ the motions, singing in multiple languages, and enjoying silly songs.  Kids can join in and play some instruments, too.  Nobody will be sitting still!

He wears a tux, but he’s not a flashy, mysterious magician.  The children feel very comfortable with Lawrence, and many come up on stage to help him perform his magic acts.  Elementary students can learn how to do their own magic with Lawrence's Magical Workshops!  Educational themes can be added, too.

Let's learn about how our earth really works! Jeanette tells her humorous, interactive story from her book, “My Roommates Are A Bunch of Worms,” as a slide show presentation, teaching us why worms are an important part of our planet.  This program is adaptable for preschoolers of three years old to eighth grade students, with mini-programs for the youngest children.  Hands-on workshops will create a worm bin, to be fed food scraps, which will produce fertile soil for the garden.  Purchasing the worm bin and book will provide your school with an interactive learning tool for years to come! 

Jeanette also produces a similar in style but more advanced program about watershed areas, based on another one of her books, for elementary students to teach them how everyone of us affects our own watershed.
