What People Are Saying
"The stories were very
entertaining and educational at the same time. The students were very
interested in the program A World of Sillies. [The presenters] included audience participation
that allowed the children to get up during the presentation. The pricing for
the assemblies was very fair. I feel we got a great value for the program. I
was very pleased with the whole experience and would recommend Kids and Cultures."

Elementary School, PTO
Programs Chair
"Treasures of the World was the best assembly we’ve had in years. Our K-5 students were mesmerized from the preshow trivia game show until the last word of the Treasures of the World stories. The cross-cultural stories taught character education concepts, as well as touching on geography, history, reading, and listening. The storytellers captivated the attention of our 220 students through the use of props, maps, dramatic voice, and acting out stories with a fast-paced dramatic flair. Teachers and students loved entire experience. I highly recommend using Kids and Cultures." Mrs. J. Musser, Principal, LeTort Elementary School, Carlisle, Pa. "Having the Treasures of the World assembly presented by Kids and Cultures at our school was an excellent way to inform students about different traditions in other cultures. The students and staff were captivated by the performer’s ability to tell stories in an exciting and interesting manner." Jeff Bell, Principal, Mooreland Elementary School, Carlisle, Pa. "We have been running a kid's programs at our mission's conference for years, this was by far the best. The kids loved it and it was educational for both kids and adults. Great job!!" Art Vallely, Co-Chairperson Calvary Bible Fellowship Church Mission's Committee “The show was wonderful. It met our high expectations, which I knew it would, based on last year’s performance! I am so impressed with how well all four family members interact during the performance. There is so much positive energy in what you do. Even very young audience members were captivated by the performance. I’ll be happy to host another program next year.” Carol Hinrichs, Adamstown Library “Everyone enjoyed the program. It is often difficult to engage youngsters in folktales - you did a great job. Your knowledge and enthusiasm added to the goodness of the program.” Nancy McGee, Mountville Area Library “You captivated the entire audience-toddlers, school-age kids, a few teens, and many adults. I liked that the telling of each story was different and that the audience was encouraged to create stories themselves using any or all of the methods presented. The performers were easygoing (which is essential in the land of libraries!) and very professional. They were self-sufficient (another quality valued highly in library land) and they showed a true passion for libraries. The show was definitely worth the money spent. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next year!” Ann Johnston, Dover Area Community Library “When I inquired about booking, I received a response back right away. Communication was great! Our audience was with you for the entire program! You did a great job holding their attention! I especially liked the way you used different forms of storytelling (readers theater, play etc.)The children enjoyed the trivia questions at the beginning of your show. You are a delightful family! We enjoyed your program and are looking forward to having you back next summer!” Karen Annaballi, Coatesville Public Library "The program was extremely well received, and not only would I highly recommend it, I would schedule it again for the library. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give a 20!" Margie Perella, Director of Pequea Valley Library, Intercourse, Pa. "Having had you here before, I know the treat we were in for. [You provided] wonderful crafts that the kids can make simply or more complicated. Anyone who can keep children attentive for 45-60 minutes deserves a 10! I wish more kids could've enjoyed your performance." Dawn Nyce, Youth Services Librarian, Lancaster County System of Libraries |
