Shows for Homeschoolers

Meet the homeschooling (err... make that "road-schooling") Goza Family.

The Act!vated Storytellers promote reading, folktales, performing arts, and families learning and having fun together!

See You at a Public Show

Bring your family or your homeschool group to the public shows sponsored by local libraries and other community organizations. Check the tour itinerary for show locations, dates and times. Be sure to contact your local librarian if you plan on taking more than 10 people.

There is a performance opportunity for up to 12 kids (age 6 and up) who arrive one half-hour before show time.

Please note that programs held at schools are not open to the public but, you may be able to make arrangements with the school. Doesn't hurt to ask!

You can help us get the word out by checking the Media Center for upcoming tour announcements and Press Releases for upcoming public performances. Press releases may be printed or emailed.

Study Guides and background information for the shows is on the page for teachers.

Host a Show For Your Homeschool Group

You can arrange to have the Act!vated Storytellers perform just for your homeschool or other community group. Our requirements are simple. All we need is an indoor space with a performance area of approximately 12' x 12' (such as a meeting room at a church or library) and a group of up to 250 enthusiastic people.

Booking Information >>

The program includes a pre-show drama workshop for up to 12 kids (age 6 and up). They will rehearse with the Gozas, learning acting skills and parts in the show.

Then it's show time! The productions are highly engaging for all ages. Infants and toddlers enjoy the movement, quick pace and physicality. Kids love the stories, being involved, the humor and seeing another kid on stage. Older kids and adults get a kick out of the play on words and American Sign Language. And no one can believe it when mom goes through a tennis racket! (Yes, a tennis racket - see for yourself.)

Workshops

Hands-on Minds-on Workshops can be arranged after the show for groups of up to 30 participants each.

• Hand Play (American Sign Language) is highly recommended for all age levels.
• Performance Art Skills is also a fun one for older kids and teens.
• There are also writing workshops and more to choose from.

Individual workshops may also be scheduled for homeschooled groups that wish to piggy back with shows scheduled for public performance by libraries and theatres in your area.
