"I've never seen anyone with
such a command of an
audience. You were terrific!"
Lynn Friend, Byram Shubert Library, Greenwich CT
GIANTS & GIRAFFES *
DRAGONS & DETECTIVES
a unique, participatory stage show for children and families
You've never seen a show like this because nobody else does what TREVOR does. A master cooperative games leader with over 30 years of experience, TREVOR leads you through a wide variety of unusual, inter-active, cooperative, FUN activities especially selected for your specific audience.
It's a 100% participatory show; the audience is busy from start to
finish: TREVOR calls volunteers up from the audience, we count down to
blast off, they call out various things in several catagories for him to do, they get to guess animal and sports impressions, there's even a haircut or two (pictured right). And, of course, there's lots of everyone-participates cooperative games! He tells them not to laugh (above) and they
laugh all the way through!

laugh all the way through! For openers, TREVOR begins on stilts, standing over 9' tall sure gets everyone's attention right away! The first half of the show is TREVOR's Aerial Delights: a participatory, up-in-the-air extravaganza of tricks and skills featuring wind whistlers, ribbon dancers, the color- changing Chameleon Stick, and all sorts of other FUN stuff.
The first half closes with the strictly educational part of the show: TREVOR takes the stilts off, shows the audience how they work and answers their questions about their construction, how they work, what's it like, what's that for, are they easy, and may we try them on right now please?!!
Then it's game time! We'll start the second half with large group games for the entire audience together: Who's the Leader? and Hula Hoop Basketball are perennial favorites. Next comes several brain games including guessing games, riddles, and minute mysteries for the group to figure out 20 Questions style. For the 7th inning strutch, we'll get out of our seats for an active jumping and ducking game called Samurai Warrior (don't lose your head!), followed by a few partner games (pictured right) -- switching partners between each one because they're mixers, too!
Then we'll sit back down together again for one more large group game that will pull everyone back together. It might be Thunder Storm. It might be Balloon Soccer. It might be just about anything... but you can be sure that it will sure get everyone working together and that it will be a mighty lot of FUN!
And then it's time for the grand finale at the end. It's a crowd-stopping closer! It's FUN! It's funny! It's quick! It's over before you know it! It's known as:

And if you want a third half... it's Project: Ribbon Dancer: a craft project, a party favor, and a really cool toy all mixed up into one! Ribbon dancers are that classic looooooooooooong ribbon-on-a-stick toy. The children are fascinated when TREVOR opens up his big red suitcase and sets up the Ribbon Dancer Factory. Oohs and ahhs go through the group as they catch sight of all the different types and colors of ribbons to choose from. As each child picks their favorite one, it's attached to a wooden handle. Then comes the artistic part: they got to decorate their handle with a wide variety of colored tapes. And finally, they got to play with their new creation, keep it, and take it home with them as a souvenir of the event to enjoy again and again! What FUN!
Here's three FUN little videos of one of the stand-up partner games.
