Aug 27, 2017

Congrats to you teachers/librarians/parents who book a show, hoping it will be inspiring. Here's some responses to recent shows by the people who booked them. We're so pleased the shows went well and appreciate the teachers telling us how they went.
Eaglenest Theatre's 2 hour workshop presentation of these two works went very well. Teacher, Mrs Purcell said
"..it was wonderful, particularly the interactive nature asking the students what they thought, what they remembered.. what i loved was drawing out the literary/academic quality, the theory, that for most of them would not be accessible..." August 2017

The Mad Hatter (Magic Show) - image above
"The Mad Hatter show was excellent and I would highly recommend it to any school.  Tim was excellent and engaged all students from ELP - Year 6. He established a quick rapport with the children and the interactive elements of the show were fantastic. Lots of laughs, thrills and WOWS."  D.Thomas, Billanook College, August 2017

"We were very happy with the show. The Year 7’s loved it! The message/s in the show were just what we wanted, and they were kept very entertained. The booking process was super easy. Will definitely be keen to book again for our Year 7’s next year."  N. Fode, Assistant Principal, Keysborough College

"The show was enjoyed by all the students and it was great to hear some old Italian songs .....The students ...enjoyed the music and learnt about some Italian instruments. Rosa had everyone up and dancing, and the students were involved in all parts of the incursion. They managed and entertained a large group very well. " C. Fonti, Resurrection Primary School, August 2017

"Big Al and Pancakes had the children in the palms of their hands from the very beginning. They tailored their activities to the children's age group and provided a memorable experience for all of the children. It was an excellent program and we hope to have them back again in two years time. I would recommend this program most highly..." C. Wenzlau, Seaholme PS August, 2017

Il Capitano - Commedia dell'Arte

"The kids loved it and so did the staff. There was so much laughing and enjoyment . We always love your shows." J.Ferguson, Ballan Primary, August 2017

Vive La France

"I am glad to say that the show was very good, the students learned a lot about the French history. The response was a very positive one from students/fellow staff so I will definitely book a similar event through you." E. Agache, Plenty Valley Christian College August 2017

 "C'est si bon was a wonderful experience for all the children and teachers” F. Renaudin, Xavier College

"The whole experience was fantastic! We have never had anything like Kinder Dreaming in our centre so we didn't have unrealistic expectations but all the children were engaged with Tristan and educators thought it was fantastic. Some of my kinder kids are still talking about it this week! " Jodie Rabi, Good Start Early Learning, Horsham
