GIANT-SCREEN FILMS
Wild Ocean CLOSES APRIL 15, 2010. See Note to Teachers below
Mysteries of the Great Lakes NEW!
Note to teachers: After press time for our printed 2009-10 guide, a brand-new film, "Mysteries of the Great Lakes," became available to us. We think you and your students will find it engaging, inspiring, and even more locally relevant to NYS Learning Standards than "Wild Ocean." To make room for "Mysteries of the Great Lakes" we must remove "Wild Ocean" from the giant-film projector on April 16. So, for each "Wild Ocean" show after April 15 in our School Show Calendar, please substitute "Mysteries of the Great Lakes." We apologize for any inconvenience, but we are confident you will be delighted with the new film. Click on the link above to find out more about it and download an educator guide. Thank you!
