KATHLEEN MOHR--EDUTAINER!
As a CHILDREN'S "EDUTAINER"-one who connects Arts to Academic Learning Experiences- I want to inspire children to laugh, develop self-confidence, and think about their world through participation in spirited, hands-on workshops. As audience members they will learn the value of listening to and appreciating others.

Creativity, Humor, Education and Audience Interaction are integral components to not only Kathleen's character performances, but also in the classes and workshops in which she teaches.
Learning adventures come in all shapes and sizes. Kathleen offers a large assortment of programming which includes: Creative Drama and Mime Workshops/Classes, Plays, Creative Movement, Unique Character Performances, and Storytelling. Through these venues children are transported to imaginary and real-life situations which encourage their growing cognitive and physical abilities and of course--self-confidence!
