A Spork in the Road: Celebrating the Wonders of Nature in a Changing World
Description
“A Spork in the Road” is an engaging show for school-aged students about climate change and the rich mysteries nature has to offer. One little firefly asks humans for a hand and becomes the unwitting mascot for all things affected by human civilization. What follows are fantastically true tales of Earth’s endless oddness, from the brilliance of bacteria to conversations had between trees. Spork’s focus on interdependence shows how cooperation quite literally makes the world go ‘round, and how it might just save us from ourselves.

Testimonials
David Gonzalez performed "Mad Dog and Me" and Aesop's Bops at our school this morning. I just wanted you to know that this was the best anti-bullying message that we have had in my years here. Besides his performance, which captivated a very large audience, his message was honest and clear. I wanted you to know just how well received this performance was. Thank you for providing such excellent programming.
Principal, Wemrock Brook School
Mr. Gonzalez is a phenomenal entertainer with an educational underlying message—that we can change the world with gentleness and kindness. The kids find him to be ultra-COOL and are enraptured by his dramatized tales of what it is like to be a kid. He has the energy of a dynamo and held the attention of our audience for over an hour. He engages the students in his storytelling, and you could hear a pin drop as he wove his tales of what it is like to be a child with a step-parent, or the victim of an ice ball hurled at your head by the school bully.
Librarian, Mott Elementary School
David Gonzalez was AMAZING!! He captivated them from the minute he stepped onto the stage and held their attention for the entire program. He is truly a gifted storyteller!
