The National Theatre for Children (NTC) and Edison International, the parent company of Southern California Edison, have partnered to educate and inspire California students and their families. From September 14 to October 5, professional actors from NTC will visit 32 elementary schools with live performances of Agents of Safety, sparking conversations on electrical safety in classrooms throughout Southern California Edison’s service area.
The program will focus on:
• How electricity is made
• The uses of electricity
• Identifying dangerous electrical situations
• Ways to stay safe around electricity
The live program revolves around Special Agents Moldy and Skuller, who travel the planet finding ways in which electricity is being used unsafely. With the help of student volunteers, Moldy and Skuller set off to stop the notorious Slug, who is obsessed with being dangerous around electricity.
In addition to live performances, the program includes bilingual student playbooks (print and online versions), teacher guides, e-books, and digital games and activities that align with the important concepts outlined in the live shows. Edison International sponsors every aspect of the program, making the performances and materials a cost-free supplement to lessons in science, literacy and the arts.
“Live theatre is a great way to educate,” says NTC president and founder Ward Eames. “The show goes beyond reading or other more passive methods of engaging kids. These children are watching a story unfold right before their very eyes, with the two actors playing all sorts of characters. We don’t lose the kids’ attention for a minute, because they get to respond and interact with the show. It really sticks with them.”
