  • Elementary school performances – grades K-6
  • Middle school performances – grades 6-8
  • High school performances – grades 9-12

We recommend a maximum of 250 students per show for the best educational experience.  Schools with larger student populations can schedule multiple performances on the same day.

  • Elementary school performances – 25 minutes
  • Middle school performances – 35 minutes
  • High school performances – 40 minutes
  • Actors arrive at the school 30 minutes before the scheduled show to set everything up in the performance space.  If more than one performance is scheduled, it takes about 15 minutes to reset and for the student groups to transition.
  • Any space where students can gather comfortably and safely!  Our actors perform in auditoriums, gymnasiums, cafeterias, libraries or large classrooms.
  • Our actor-educators need a space of about 20 feet long and 12 feet deep to perform.

Your school provides the space and students, the actors bring everything needed.
