Online Shows Still A Great Option

Schools might choose to book an online show because
1. They are out of a main city or town
2. They don't have many students
3. Cost might be a factor - online shows are usually cheaper
4. The show they're interested in doesn't tour to their state.
This last was the reason a Sydney school, Hornsby North PS, booked Tim Ellis' A Visit to the Laneway Theatre'. The live shows are only available in Victoria.
This is what they said about it
"Our school is based in Sydney and we were able to enjoy a Zoom presentation by Tim Ellis. The students were totally engaged throughout the whole show and loved the way they were shown a few of the magic trick reveals. Would thoroughly recommend this incursion to any school. Tim was an excellent communicator as far as bookings were concerned and provided an extra bonus of link to some of the tricks, so that they can be shared at home."
Online shows on SFS are designated by a # at the start of their title.
