Testimonial
...the audience is made aware of the ways that our listening, understanding and memory can be affected each day. The listening errors result in funny answers that rhyme, or begin or end with the same sounds as the information given. The children loved this and caught on right away! What a great way for children to learn about this early literacy practice ...an engaging play that reaches children’s minds and hearts in a delightful way.

Description
Welcome Park is opening a new visitor center and Bunny and his friends want to get in on the act. Ned is worried because each has a bad habit that could interfere with them doing their best work: Bunny rushes through things; Dog gets herself so nervous she can barely speak; Bee tries to do too many things at once. What will Ned and the audience decide about their readiness to work in the visitor center? Welcome Park engages children with laughter while learning to pay attention and improve listening skills. Ages 3-8.

Technical Specifications
Welcome Park requires a one and a half hour prior load-in and set-up time. Cleared stage or gymnasium space to accommodate a fixed stage width of 24' wide. Ceiling clearance 11' high for backdrop. Approximately 8' deep for the backstage area and an additional 8-12' in front of the stage for audience to sit back far enough since the puppets perform above a 6' stage height. Full basic lighting. Access to electrical for our sound system and one 6-8' folding table needed for backstage properties. Equipment is rolled in on a cart so level entrance, ramp or elevator is helpful.
