     “Cows that type? Hens on strike!
    Whoever heard of such a thing!” Farmer Brown cries.

    When his granddaughter Jenny comes for a
    visit, Farmer Brown declared the farm a “tech-free zone.” He
    confiscates her laptop in the cold barn along with the shivering cows who use
    her computer to type messages requesting blankets.

    “No way,” replies Farmer
    Brown. “No blankets!”

    So the cows go on strike and the
    chickens join them in solidarity. No blankets: no milk, no eggs!

    Will Farmer Brown give in to the
    animals’ demands? Will Jenny get her computer back? Find out in a hilariously
    “mooooo-ving” musical about negotiation and compromise, based on the
    Caldecott Honor Book by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin.

  • Pirate School: The SCIENCE of Pirates!

    PIRATE
    SCHOOL!      Welcome aboard, mateys! Pirate School!  is
    in session.  This is a madcap, slap-dash pirate training academy that
    allows both youngsters and adults to discover their ‘inner-swashbuckler.’ 
    Pirate School! is
    a one-man, sea-faring vaudeville show that spoofs the Golden Age of Sail and
    satisfies children’s universal curiosity about the briny buccaneers of yore.

    Unlike any Science Comedy show on the
    high-seas today, “Pirate School: The SCIENCE of Pirates!”
    excites and motivates students grades K-5 with piratical fun while introducing
    simple concepts outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards.

    Historically, seafarers have pushed
    science and technology forward and who better to captivate and expand
    children’s horizons than the swaggering staff of Pirate School!? Concepts
    addressed will include atmospheric pressure, wind and currents, aerodynamics of
    a sailboat (Science), simple machines (Engineering), navigation (Math), and of
    course the flight of a cannonball (Technology).

    Combining important educational subjects
    with the universal dream of swashbuckling adventure, this program aims to stir
    the spirit and galvanize attention with a mischievous blend of interactive
    clown theater, eccentric props, adept magic, a rich musical score, cartoon-like
    sound effects AND SCIENCE! Recommended for grades K-5    .
