Suggested Number of Participants: 20-75
Event Purpose:
The purpose of the event is to provide an engaging evening with participant involvement and lots of singing and good feeling - through song, dance (by MC and those who would like to), and laughter. My goal is to actively solicit involvement from all participants and to assure that all participants have fun and feel they are part of a team. My history of over twenty years as a camp counselor (and MC of evening entertainment programs) and many years as a teacher has resulted in the necessary skills to manage groups and assure they have fun. I have successfully run programs for all size groups over my career. In addition, as a teacher, I have presented to large groups for staff development training and won an award of “Funniest Teacher in NYC” at Stand Up NY.
