We offer two different shows specifically for schools. Donald and Anicét perform Four and Twenty Blackbirds for very young audiences, grades K-3. Discover the charm of nursery rhymes with shadow theater and music!

The World Turned Upside Down is for fourth and fifth grades. Donald spins the tale of his Uncle Benjamin, Hurdy-Gurdy Man and spy in the service of George Washington. This one-man show uses storytelling and music in a winning combination.

Libraries may be interested in presenting these two shows and may also consider The Adventures of Claude Duval. Appropriate for a wide variety of audiences, this extravaganza of music and shadow theater uses the entire Hurdy-Gurdy Band (Donald, Anicét, Gaspar and Julien) in a hilarious romp of music and shadow theater!
Donald is certified by Teachers College, Columbia University as a Performing Artist in Schools. For over twenty years he and Anicet have performed in hundreds of schools in the United States, Europe and Japan.

Study guides are available for all school presentations.
"Your performance was just superb. We had such favorable comments from our patrons. Thank you for helping make the Craigin Library's 100th birthday celebration very special indeed."
