The white tiger

Clowning Around Adventures

Three whimsical clowns take center stage, each with a unique language and a shared goal: to bridge the gap between their linguistic differences. With one clown speaking Spanish, another English, a third Icelandic, and a surprise Italian twist, this show becomes a delightful exploration of communication, unity, and laughter.

Little Dot and Big Dot

This exciting show tackles the tricky topics of bullying and microaggressions in a way that's both entertaining and thought-provoking. Originally designed for 3rd graders, we teamed up with
elementary school teachers to uncover the challenges kids face in their school lives.
