Testimonial

"It was awesome! I'm constantly impressed by his characters, sets and props and how he fully commits to each one! He is very professional, entertaining for all ages (including the parents) and a wonderful performer. A true gem in the children's entertainment world. Do not hesitate to hire!"

Aldona Pilmanus, Director of Children's Programming, Nyack Public Library, NY

Description

Take a deep dive into the earth sciences with Captain Nemo himself, in a madcap environmental stewardship, litter-abatement and marine conservation assembly.

The reclusive mariner resurfaces to help quench kid's thirst for knowledge of the "Wonders of the Deep," while inspiring them to feel the vital interdependence of all living things.

This laugh-riot show demonstrates how human behavior affects our planet via humorous encounters with an Angler fish, plastic water bottles, a giant squid, a jar of bioluminescent plankton and even whale poop! Features include bubble-magic, ventriloquism, eccentric props, and active audience participation.

Technical Specifications

Clear Space Request: (Very important): To ensure no precious set-up time is lost upon my arrival, please coordinate with staff to ensure no student activities or rehearsals are scheduled and confirm with custodians that all orchestra or band equipment, tables, chairs, etc., are removed from the stage at least ONE HOUR PRIOR to showtime.

Inform David ahead of time if he will be in an Auditorium, Cafeteria Multipurpose room, gym or other.

David requires parking near a door, preferably close to the space he will be in.

Stairs: David rolls his equipment on a cart, so David will need an elevator, ramps, or assistance carrying equipment if elevators and ramps are not available.
