When I had to go up and say my part, I thought I would be nervous. When I get nervous, my voice gets deep and it didn’t get deep. I wasn’t nervous and I was surprised they didn’t make me nervous. I was comfortable. They probably made me conquer my fear on getting nervous in front of people.

Jordan, a student

I especially enjoyed how the whole class got to create!

Matt, a student

It surprised me are how fast they got us to write a song and then got people to actually sing along and interact with everything.

Julia, a student

"You are so talented. I think it really hits home and gets the point against bullying across…with the Greek masks on each character pleading their case/cause. I love the interaction with the audience.”

Lisa Pawluk, Longfellow MIddle School

Robin is a unique and creative artist whose leadership has helped countless students and teachers. Her experience has been invaluable and her high expectations have helped our staff in attaining not only our artistic goals but also our academic goals.

Andrew Koonce, Principal Cleveland School of the Arts

The performance was superb. The children were engrossed from start to finish. They wanted more!

Viola Franklin Melbourne, Florida

Learning has never been such fun and so moving. It is a great way to learn history!

Patricia Waite, Levittown, PA

That was the best time I had at school.

Justin, a student

THE LAST FUGITIVE SLAVE performance showed the emotional distress and physical consequences of the slavery institution; Robin incorporated students into her performance, directly having them see the importance of the teaching of history and culture by means of the theatrical arts.

Arts Partnership

"The audience joined in, singing the sequence of the water cycle. After the program, positive comments from parents exclaimed that this will give the kids a jump start on science in the upcoming school year."

Lynn Raymond, Cuyahoga County Public Library

Dave Young and Robin Pease came to my class and taught my classmates and me about the fundamentals about writing music and composing music.

Rocko, a student

I believe the show clearly demonstrates that the "Founding Fathers" based many portions of the Constitution on their knowledge of Iroquois government, rather than on the Magna Carta, as textbooks often claim.

Shari Gully Burlington, North Carolina

Robin Pease was the keynote speaker, a constructive and inspiring addition to the festival....she really held the attention and interest of the entire auditorium. Teachers came away with a better understanding of how to enhance storytelling with dramatic arts principles, and use stories from diverse cultural backgrounds to create activities that address learning standards.

Settlement Music School, Philadelphia PA

"The kids were jumping out of their seats to participate in the show. The parents were pleased that, by the time the kids had the mystery solved and the show was over, they learned about the water cycle, including precipitation, collection, and evaporation."

Laurel Blatnik, Chagrin Public Library

This was great! I really enjoy these professional development workshops and this one had cool ideas I can take and use in the classroom tomorrow! The speaker was very organized, executed her objectives well, and provided useful techniques. Fun time!
