Testimonial

Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions.

It's the aquarium that comes to you! As part of this musical puppet show, children meet lots of creatures that live in the sea, including a walrus, a seahorse, a giant beluga whale, and many more, providing exposure to a wide range of style of puppetry. The audience will learn about what the creatures eat, how they move, and some other fascinating facts.
