A K-5 ROBOT MAGIC SCHOOL ASSEMBLY EXPERIENCE BY:
IT'S MAGIC THROUGH THE LENS OF THE MAKER MOVEMENT!
Welcome to the K-5, in-school assembly version of audience-and-critically-acclaimed theater production, Mario the Maker Magician.
Our S.T.E.A.M.-infused show employs original MAGIC, handmade ROBOTS, and punk rock SLAPSTICK to tell stories of innovation, art, and science. It's fast-paced, interactive, hilarious, educational, and inspirational. "Do what you love, use what you have, and have fun" is a major tenet of the show, with a healthy dose of teacher appreciation to boot.
Our show was born in NYC in 2006 and has since developed into a world-touring theatrical production that has garnered acclaim and sold out runs in places like New York City, London, Sydney, and beyond. We've been featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Sesame Street, and beyond!
In the words of the New Victory Theater's artistic director, Mary Rose Lloyd, Mario is "the world's loudest kid whisperer," a title we bear proudly! Mario has a rapport with kids that allows him to deliver important messages wrapped up in boisterous fun.
thank you for considering
