"You did a very good job of conveying Christopher Columbus' life. It's important for students to know why there is a holiday. The play had good information that they may not have known before; the humor was a great way to keep such a wide audience (K-5) interested. Nice Job!" (Balch School, Norwood, MA) "Definitely top quality! A very informative, interesting and comical presentation. We learned a lot and had a fun time doing it. A+!" (Elm Street School, Mechanic Falls, ME) |

There’s something for every grade level here; but, of course, the more you already know about Columbus, the funnier this play will be! It’s sure to spark kids’ interest in the study of history…and guaranteed to leave everyone howling with laughter!

"Your show helped bring
history to life in an enjoyable way. We went to the library after
the show & several students chose books about Columbus.
They've been able to recall facts/situations from the play and compare
information....It was nice for teachers, who have to see a lot of
shows, to have some jokes hidden for us. Too many children's shows
underestimate their audience. Yours never do. My students
told me it was the best thing ever! They've already asked to have
you back!" |

originally created CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS in 1991 for
the ’92 Quincentennial. Between September ’91 and December ’92, we
gave over 325 performances of this play. In 1996, in answer to popular
demand, we brought this show back—and in 1997 we gave it a brand-new,
larger, more colorful set and some spectacular new costumes. It
became an annual October event!
"Magnificent performance! This was one of the BEST shows I have seen at school. It was very entertaining as well as educational. Thanks for the advance information. Our class read about and discussed Columbus prior to the performance. They loved the show, but felt their knowledgeable background increased their enjoyment!" (South Range School, Derry, NH) |

"The
acting and visual effects were excellent. (Hats off
to the quick-change artist!) I especially enjoyed the humor.
Learning about Columbus became enjoyable; through
this humor, I believe my students will retain more.
It’s hard to keep 1st graders’ attention for almost
an hour, but congratulations--you did it!" |

| "The educational value was higher than I
had anticipated. Your Teacher Guide was helpful to know what your
approach would be--and especially to know you had a balanced approach
and had researched extensively. One of the best shows our school
has seen." (Plainfield Elementary School, Meriden,
NH) "Your presentation was packed with humor and facts; a welcome boost to those who find history boring!" (Belgrade Central School, Belgrade, ME) |
