Alex Thomas and Friends offers a variety of unique programs, in person and virtual. A team of professional animators & puppeteers with Television and Film experience, they have been providing unique library programs for nine years. They're also willing to travel!

Please contact Alex Thomas and Friends if you have any questions about their programs or if you would like to get something on the calendar. They would love the opportunity to work with you! For links to some of their programs, and reviews from librarians, please visit www.alexthomasandfriends.com.

Each workshop features a fun mix of shadow skits, artist guidance, and simple at-home activities presented in brief, readily accessible videos that children can easily navigate. These workshops are appropriate for children aged 7-11, but may also be enjoyed by younger children who are assisted by an adult. The total length of each workshop is approximately 30 minutes.

I am also able to host live webinars of artist talk-backs, performances, and extended activities for up to 100 participants at a time. If you think this might meet your libraries needs at this time, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
 
Best Wishes and Stay Well,

​The Duelling Dames are on tour!  Enjoy local rates while they are in your area, and hefty discounts for multiple library visits.
 
With 50 performances in libraries and fairs, The Duelling Dames is a swashbuckling show that teaches history with hilarity, astounds with swordplay, and is brave enough to bring participants onstage (Don't worry, only foam swords are used then with participants).
 
This all female anti bullying swordfighting show has a story message of...peace!​
