Blown Away by Poetry
This show is the perfect way to get your K-2nd grades excited about writing poetry! A delightful 60 minute interactive performance that has your students traveling through a windstorm and talking with puppets about rhyme, alliteration, description and simile. The performance culminates in a writing workshop so students can create and read poems of their own.
Layer the Walls Excerpts
Three of the stories from Layer the Walls Part I & II can be brought to schools and performed as stand-alone excerpts. These short performances are followed by a puppetry demonstration or facilitated exploration of the story content. Options include:
Jimmy’s Story: Irish Immigrant Jimmy McKenna conquers his fears while building the Brooklyn Bridge. (25 min)
Goldine’s Story: When word of a possible strike takes hold of the garment factory, Goldine Zuckerman, a Jewish immigrant, must decide if she will join the fight. (20 min)
Josephina’s Story: As a Puerto Rican migrant, Josephina wants to help her mother find effective, fair medical care. She discovers that Young Lords activists might be able to help.
