Project Impact

Scot Cannon presents this warm and touching non-denominational holiday show, which teaches that the best gifts we can give are the ones that come from inside us.

Using pantomime and music, Scot tells the story of a boy who could not talk, but has a voice deep inside that would sing. It’s only through performing selfless acts for those in need that he finally finds his voice.

In the second half of the program Scot removes his makeup and talks to the children about the story and what it means.

The Gift Inside is new, creative and a wonderful choice for a holiday program.

Grades K-6

Born a slave, Sojourner Truth, through her words and actions, influenced the lives of Americans and people around the world.

Her story is told in a new and innovative way as the performers in this assembly play the part of writers intent on penning a unique version of Sojourner’s life.

Using a little “creative magic” the writers find themselves on a trip back through time with Sojourner as their spirit guide.

They experience the danger of living as blacks in America during Sojourner’s lifetime and witness first-hand her exchanges with family, abolitionists, spiritualists, suffragettes, the Freedman’s Bureau, and her friends in Battle Creek, Michigan. 

A question and answer period follows the performance and is an integral part of this program. 

Alicia Washington brings Sojourner Truth to life, not only as a woman of extraordinary courage and electrifying presence, but also as a gifted and passionate human being.

Grades 3-12 • Adult & College Program Also Available

An Introduction to Opera

Opera Singer Yvette Lewis uses two well-known fairy tales to introduce pre-school and kindergarten audiences to opera.

Each fairy tale has its own original score.  Students sing, act, and play instruments during this interactive presentation. Fast paced and fun, this program holds the attention of a young audience. They are captivated by Yvette’s voice, expressions and music.

The program provides an early introduction to a “singing story” and becomes a springboard to future operatic studies.
