Regional Customization

For larger tours, to more specifically meet the needs of different demographics, we are able to customize the show and create local troupes based in your region.

For example, we collaborated with Bruce Robinson of Philadelphia’s FreshVisions Youth Theatre Company to create a reinterpretation of FOODPLAY for a tour of The School District of Philadephia. Under his direction, the show FOODPLAY’s Fresh Adventure! and Trish’s Awesome Nutrition Ambition, featured original rap music, hip-hop dancing, and local references to address Philadelphia’s African American and Latino school population.

We collaborated with Intermountain Healthcare, to create This is Your Life – LiVe!, a program we brought to the middle schools throughout Utah and Idaho over a three-year period!
