DROP OF HONEY
Children of peace- an exploration of the challenges we all face in getting along, With a simple recipe for problem solving, Susan tells tales of escalation and how the choices we make can lead to positive outcomes. We can all start over, and try, try again.

HAND JIVE!
A Math and Science show. With an eye towards multiple intelligences, learn your facts through song and story. Learning facts was never this much fun! Topics covered are skip counting, multiplication, the continents, the rain cycle, our "place in space" and how it dictates our concept of time.

WRITE FOR YOUR LIFE!
An exploration of creative writing. Susan shares with you her songs and stories with a focus on the creative process- inspiration, creation, and hands on technique. This show comes with a residency component. Students will leave this show and workshop with tools in their pocket and stories to tell!

PEACE CRANES
Our world grows smaller each day. No matter how old or young, we can all make a difference towards peace. Based on Susan's Peace Cranes story, this show comes with an optional residency component of folding 1000 paper cranes and performing an orchestrated version of her song for chorus and orchestra.

STORIES AND STRINGS
A show for pre-school, ages 2.9 - 6. Songs and stories for young minds, with an emphasis on learning about string instruments- how they work and how they are different. Each child will have a chance to try the banjo or the violin!

OPERA-ATTIC
Come on up to Grandma's attic; find the character you would most like to be. Choose a costume, join your friends and put on an opera!These original operas are self casting and all inclusive. Based on familiar folk tales, they are ideal for residencies and can be performed with any age group in three to five sessions.

DANCE DANCE—WHEREVER YOU MAY BE
It’s worth the effort to find the space required for this invigorating introduction to folk dance and singing games. Toss a little sawdust on the floor for an hour of do-si-do and circle to the left, winding down with a story for all.

A BUNDLE OF STICKS
An exploration into the world of peer relationships and making good choices. Kids today face challenges of drugs and alcohol at younger and younger ages. Using songs, stories, and a whole lot of humor, Susan inspires kids to stick together and have fun in healthy ways.
