Education Through Entertainment
As a Michigan School Assembly company, producing shows out of our humble little headquarters here in Redford, Michigan, we like to remind our clients that our reach goes way beyond Michigan.
For many years one of our most popular school assemblies has been the elegant and highly acclaimed Young Authors Day. This stunning school show is a magnificent way to get kids excited about writing, and never fails to deliver absolutely rave reviews from whatever school is lucky enough to schedule it.
I have written before about one of our presenters who is a personal favorite of mine and a very good friend. His name is Toma, and he performs several shows for us but is especially renowned for his own creation Young Authors Day.
Schools across the country have in recent years pondered the problem of how to turn children into moral individuals and good citizens. Many have exerted much effort to introduce good character education into the daily lives of children. Concepts such as respect, responsibility, honesty and so on have been crafted together into various character building programs. Many schools now utilize these concepts on a daily basis to help turn today's children into the good citizens of tomorrow. And this is a great thing!
Sky Dome Planetarium is one of the most popular school assemblies in the country. And why wouldn’t it be? For kids there is hardly a more awesome experience than to enter their gym and discover a huge silver dome occupying half the room and standing some sixteen feet high. And then to enter the dome itself through a mysterious tunnel, sit in the dark inside and then to be treated to a wondrous journey into outer space and beyond! We have never met a child (or adult!) that did not think this a totally awesome experience.
With curriculum based instruction embedded thoroughly throughout the program this great school assembly is also a huge hit with teachers, as it reinforces educational benchmarks in several areas.
And so we are happy to alert you that we have made more than one tour available this year in the midwest. Michigan and Ohio schools, being right in our backyard so to speak, ave always had great opportunities for scheduling this show, but with extra performers now available, Skydome will be able to visit several states that have not had great access to this portable planetarium school assembly before.
Sky Dome (sometimes confused with the older Star Lab program) is available this school year to midwestern schools in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minneapolis and even Texas, Utah, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota!
For those in other parts of the country, do not despair, as we have additional performers resident on the East and West coasts and available to service schools both in California and the eastern states of New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and all of New England.
So let the stars shine over your school!
Good news for Texas schools! This Fall Texan schools will have a chance to enjoy a brand new science program steeped in exciting demonstrations of physical science, and performed by one of our best school assembly performers.
Toma the Mime is well known across the country for his stellar Young Authors Day school assemblies which have been dazzling audiences for twenty years and continue to encourage kids to write creatively. Additionally, for the past year or so, Toma, also a talented actor, has been visiting schools in the guise of Mr. Thomas Edison, and bringing to life the great inventor for countless delighted school audiences.
This year Toma adds a new program to his repertoire, taking on the performer duties for our newest science assembly The Invisible Wonder! This awesome new school show explores the physical properties of air, atmosphere, vacuums and a host of other scientific phenomena through super cool demonstrations including air cannons, vacuum spheres and a working hovercraft for kids to ride on!
Toma will be returning to the Lone Star State in October with all three of these great programs. So Texas schools will have some hard choices to make! Do they want a fantastic new science program, a mesmerizing historical recreation of the life of a famous American inventor, or do they want an amazing day of creative writing their kids will never forget?
Then again, why choose? Since Toma does not visit Texas often, why not schedule him for two days and enjoy all that he has to offer? A cross curriculum whirlwind in a brace of days might be just the ticket to wake up your kids this Fall.
I can see it now... scores of young Texan children all dressed as mimes for Halloween!
The good news is that Stronger Than a Bully, Mobile Ed’s highly anticipated new anti bullying program will be touring Texas this coming winter in January and February. This is a great new school assembly program, performed by a wonderful Mobile Ed presenter named Dave Mitchell, whom some of you will remember as our superb Ben Franklin!
