The One-Man Circus-in-a-Suitcase delights and inspires assembly audiences to practice compassion and follow their dreams. An entire cast of circus performers emerge from a small suitcase but the most important characters come from the audience, as chosen members become part of the action. Each show is a dialogue between the audience and the characters, a lighthearted collaboration that allows the entire school to run away and join the circus and still be back in time for lunch. The show comes with a curriculum guide for teachers to integrate the circus back into the classroom. Kevin O'Keefe; Grades K-8; $800/$1300 |

The Mask Messenger is a world of nearly twenty masked characters that perform a series of vignettes ranging from bizarrely comic to surprisingly poignant. Half-masked characters speak and educate; full-masked characters remain silent while speaking volumes about our lives, transforming before our eyes and creating illusions that “ ..tickle some sort of primal funny bone". The show's focus on body language, physical comedy and direct participation affects audiences viscerally in ways that go straight to the heart and sneak up on the brain. Students learn about masks used in cultures worldwide while addressing the concept of the 'masks' we all wear daily giving us a new perspective on how we present ourselves to the world and how we perceive others. Proudly presented by Tim Latta and Lattawork, educating through the arts for over thirty years! Tim Latta; Grades K-12; $800/$1300 |

Trent Arterberry is an award-winning performing artist whose unique style of physical theatre variously combines masterful mime, poignant monologue, comedic characters and dramatic narratives. Think Bigg (K-6) blends mime, storytelling and lots of audience participation to create a series of kid-friendly stories and characters with thoughtful lessons about non-verbal communication. The Secret Life of Walter Manny (K-6) is the story of a young hero-in-training with an overactive imagination that gets him in—and out of—trouble. The show contains themes of self-control and respect for others. My Impractical Life (6-12) is the semi-autobiographical story of how Trent became an artist. Addressing career goals, it contains powerful messages for students about finding and pursuing one’s passion in the face of adversity. Trent Arterberry; Grades K-6, 6-12; $695/$995 |
