How long do your shows last?
All my standard shows will run 45-50 minutes, although there is some flexibility where needed.
If requested in advance, I can customize a show to a specific length of time.

Maybe! It really depends on the timing and the location of the performances. If you schedule a half-day, for example, there is not enough time to setup one show, perform, pack up, change costumes and then repeat the process. However, if you schedule a full-day or a half-day in the afternoon and an evening program, hosting two different programs is doable. Call us for details.
While in some venues this can be helpful, we usually provide our own P.A. system including wireless a microphone. Occasionally, Steve may choose to plug his mic or music into a fixed P.A. system, but this is not required.
Steve brings most everything necessary to make your event a success: including a theatrical backdrop (time and space permitting), a professional PA system, a custom collection of props, puppets, and much more!
All you need to provide is a place to perform (with a power source nearby), three identical adult-size chairs, and a small table.
If you have a clear stage or raised platform with steps, this is always a plus, but is not required.
Depending upon the location of the performing area, we might request two or three older students to help unload and load the equipment. It is ideal to unload near the performing area where equipment can be rolled into place (i.e. no steps).
Typically we can reset most of our programs in the time it takes to dismiss one group and bring in the next group (about 10 minutes).
Educationally this is a wise decision as it allows us to present age-appropriate materials. However, from a practical standpoint, we know this is not always possible, nor is it required.
Ideal divisions for elementary are primary (K-2) and intermediate (3-5). For middle school and high school programs there is not a preferred grouping.
