Professional Shows for Students

Okame from Follow the Buzz

The Act!vated Storytellers tour across the U.S. and internationally to present educational shows at schools, libraries, theatres, museums or anywhere children and their families gather. They coined the term "act!vated" because nothing else comes close to describing the dynamic theatrical style used to present stories.
