The Icky Yucky Gross Bug Show & The Icky Yucky Gross Bug Movie

Blending science and drama, the assembly teaches students about the creepy life of bugs through the use of comedy, magic, and audience interaction. At the end of the program students will know how to identify bugs, the uses of bugs, the importance of bugs, and all about their habitats. There will be screams. There will be laughter. And some kids may even eat a bug. It will be gross and revolting to the adults, but a whole lot of fun for the students. (For grades K through 8th)

The Movie Version adds a bonus of filming your students in their own scary movie of your school fighting off giant insects that you get to keep.

Science Magic

Behind every great magic trick is science. And behind every piece of science is a world of magic. Students will be amazed when they not only see the impossible become possible, but also learn how to do it themselves. Students will be invited to think like scientists as the try to figure out the puzzles of a magician. (For grades K through 8th)

Theatre through the Ages

Travel back in time and explore the world of theatre, breaking down the walls that keep us from embracing truly amazing art forms. Students will laugh and be awestruck when they experience theatre movements such as Radio Plays, Melodrama, Shakespeare, and Greek Tragedies. Through it all they'll see that at the root of all theatre is story. (For grades K and up)
