New! Virtual programs now available
Kids Laugh as they Learn! All MCP programs use arts in education to stimulate young audience’s minds to hear, see, and REMEMBER information-all done in a creative way. Art forms that are used to achieve these goals are brilliant ventriloquism and puppetry as well as masterful storytelling. A puppet cloud may help teach children about the water cycle. A talking book may teach the children the definition of words or proper book care. A boy puppet may help convey the emotional trauma bullying can cause. Stories told can inform, move us to tears, change our attitudes, and even inspire us. All this can be accomplished with laughter while igniting young audiences imagination.
