Since we began performing historical shows for children,
a lot of people have told us that they wish learning about
great historical figures could have been this much fun when
they were in school. They enjoy our presentations, but they’re
for kids, right?
Libraries, historical societies, and senior's groups were
left wondering: what about the adults?! Learning isn’t
just for children, and everyone likes to have fun. So how
could we bring history to life for the “kids at heart”?

accident that had life changing obstacles he didn't
see coming. Hear the inspirational story of actor
Terry Lynch, who over 20 years ago was disfigured
and lost 50% of his sight, but wasn't blind to the
obstacles he was to eventually overcome. He went on
to live out his dream of entertaining, and learned
along the way that not all disabilities are visible.

"Mistakes
Happen!" |
|
Terry presents an entertaining and
humorous program that sites some
of history's greatest leaders, and their biggest blunders
that could have spelled disaster if they had not chosen
to learn from their mistakes! Just as some of these
leaders found out, it's not the fact that mistakes happen,
it's how you learn from them that determines how you
will succeed!
Let the past inspire the future,
learn to laugh as you learn to lead!
