As a result of our combined experiences, the company has gained strength and vibrancy. Over the years, we gathered artists to our ranks with different backgrounds and training in a variety of performance styles such as clowning, physical theatre, improv, and dance. Since that time, we have developed our unique Artist-in-Schools Residency Program. Audiences adored the shows because of their fun, improvisational nature and audience interaction! Our journey began in the early 80’s when our founders, David and Sheryl Chantler, hit the road to bring a theatre show to schools and festivals across the country.
