Puppet Show!

Emotion Literacy Advocates' founding artists Pamela and Daniel Sackett and Mark Magill have created a new musical puppet show called: The Greatest Gift of ALL (or Life Wins!) The show premiered on September 30th at Children's Museum Seattle to an appreciative audience of parents and children.

We invite you to invite us to perform our original show at your school, child care facility and special interest group gathering. Participate in emotion literacy advocacy, support social/emotional learning and mental health by hosting our entertaining and thought-provoking show and post-show discussion for your beloved community. The show stage
Imagine yourself here...

Running time: 30 minutes
Show requirements: 8' x 6' floor space for our puppet stage, an electrical outlet and an audience.

"The puppet show was engaging and lively! ...a wonderful presentation for our Saturday Morning Series. We were so pleased with the program and feel that it added greatly to our focus on the theme of Believe in Yourself. Your generosity is much appreciated and we had a great time. Looking forward to working with you again. Thank you."

The Greatest Gift of ALL
              Synopsis
 
 
rapt audience

Pickles and Pamela
Pamela sings The Full Spectrum Birthday Song to a teary-eyed Pickles (note tissue...)

Pickles Gladding is talented. Many would agree. She has won every pickle recipe contest she ever entered, so Pickles believes in herself--"big time!" But does Pickles believe in herself whole-heartedly?

Pamela, the strolling minstrel, visits Pickles to discuss Clifford, The Big Red Dog's big "believe in yourself" idea and ponders the idea of losing a contest. Pickles poo-poos the idea and boasts of her infallibility. During their visit, Pickles receives a phone call that rocks her boat. Pamela sings Pickles a song that steadies the stormy sea of her disappointment and inspires Pickles to think of a big, buoyant and feeling-full idea of her own about what it means to believe in yourself.

Suggested age: children: ages 4 to 12 & adults

-- Seattle minister

"...what a huge impact your advice and guidance has had on my freeing of my emotions and my mothering of my daughters would not be what it is without your gifts of knowledge! I cannot stress this enough!"
