Testimonials
Both performers captivated all of our students from our Kindergarteners through 8th graders. Excellent presentation- skilled musicians and actors. Loved how they wove authentic protest songs throughout their story. One of the best Young Audience performances I've seen.
House Director/Music Teacher, Far Hills Country Day School
I must say—this was one of the BEST assemblies we have ever had. The question and answer session at the end was truly magnificent. They had such a breadth of knowledge that they shared with passion with our students.
Assistant Head, Shipley School
Wonderful, professional, educational.
Assemblies Coordinator, Grey Nun Academy
The performers were amazing! They also had a question and answer part of the program. The students had so many questions that we had to cut it off, but as the students were leaving the gym, they were still going up to the performers asking them questions. I feel that the students could all relate to the story in one way or another, because at some point in their lives they have been bullied or had to stand up to a bully. I was very impressed that our 3rd graders were so engaged with watching the show. The performers reached all audience members from the 3rd graders to the teachers. Excellent show and something very powerful to see. I would highly recommend this show!
