We're excited to be partnering with Page Turner Adventures to offer our library patrons an interactive learning experience for children! This summer, kids can follow along to virtually participate in animal-themed comedy shows, field trips, create “paw-some” crafts, and mix up some cool recipes.
Who is Page Turner Adventures?
Page Turner Adventures is the creation of Jill Ross Nadler and Kenny Mikey. The series combines stories and steampunk circus in supersized productions that redefine the meaning of audience participation. Jill plays the intrepid Storyologist, Page Turner. Kenny is her slap-stick sidekick. Together, they transform children into Storyologists and send them on comic quests to collect, tell, and write stories. Viewers become the main character in the story, interacting directly with the actors which enhances their educational experience. Kenny, a former Ringling Bros. Clown, and Riley, a professional storyteller and author, are an Emmy, Telly and iParenting Award Winning Video duo who have been producing educational and social emotional content for schools and television for over twenty years, including the Travel Channel, Scholastic, and PBS.
What can I expect?
In this six-week series, children will transform into Storyologists, virtually traveling through the “Once Upon a Time Machine” to explore different adventures with Page Turner and Kenny. There are five days of programming for each weekly theme which includes comedy shows, virtual field trips, craft projects and recipes.
By turning the audience into the main character of the story, the shows empowers kids to become readers and writers. The performances combine slapstick, storytelling, and larger-than-life props and costumes for a totally unique virtual theatrical experience.
What age group is this program best for?
While traditionally Page Turner Adventure programs can be tailored to various age groups and audiences, the virtual summer program is best suited for children in elementary school.
Is there a charge for this summer program?
If your child is a patron of the Burke County Public Library, there is no charge to access these virtual sessions.
