Thornapple Players 6/23 This year the Thornapple Players return to the Spray Plaza! Each year the Thornapple Players host a week long camp for local youth. Today the campers will be performing monologue excerpts from their summer performance and offering theatre games for all to enjoy. 4 6/30 Mother Goose Nancy Snell's fun, interactive programs keep young children entertained and engaged - while providing opportunities for growth in pre-literacy skills through rhyme and music. Children interact with a professional storyteller and participate in the magic of costumes, music, and nursery rhymes. With over 30 years of experience teaching, raising, caring for, and playing with young children, Nancy brings a wealth of fun and creativity to her programs. She understands that children delight in songs, rhymes, puppets, and "dress up" - and incorporates all of these elements into her "Mother Goose" show. 7/7 Tunes & Tales with Tricia Tricia was born into a family where music and storytelling was a way of life. With 30 years of teaching experience in early childhood classrooms and Gladys the Guitar by her side, Tunes & Tales by Tricia seemed to be the next natural choice. Her back- to -back degrees in child development and early literacy prepared her well for the kind of future that would lead her to train children, parents, and teachers in music, movement , the connections to literacy. Her educational model is fully participatory, and it is immediately noticeable when you witness a Tunes & Tales performance. She does not perform FOR her audience as much as she performs WITH them! Children and families are at once engaged with her comfortable and interactive style from the start. In July 2010, Tricia released her first CD, “Hard Rock Candy Mountain”. By March of 2011, it had won the DOVE AWARD and the CREATIVE CHILD AWARD OF EXCELLENCE. The next CD was released in May of 2012 and was titled UKE ARE ALL MY FRIENDS! featuring many of Tricia’s closest friends and family, as well as her new friend “Luke the Uke”. 5 Janice Marsh 7/14 Did you know that every plant has a special vibration? We can take that special vibration and turn it into music! In other words, we can now hear plants sing. Janice Marsh, Earth Mother will be bringing her songs, stories and her Music of the Plants machine to Hastings. What songs do you think we will be hearing today? Small Sounds “Music should be active, fun and imaginative.” 7/21 “The idea for Small Sounds started while I was teaching classes at The Looking Glass Preschool. I introduced Mr. Djembe (my African drum) to the kids one day. They had to ‘wake up’ the djembe before we could begin. Before long I was beating on the drum while they danced wildly around the room in rhythm. Seeing how much fun they were having I started to bring in my guitar and other instruments.” The concept for Small Sounds was hatched; classes that were more than music theory, or rigid instruction. Music, movement and imagination became the motto. I wanted to create an experience where kids could be social, learn basic music principles all while having fun, moving around and getting to play hands-on with instruments and most of all using their imagination! 6 7/28 Deep Fried Pickle Project crude pirate scientist chef using a combination of spirits and pickle juice. As the DFPP awoke from their icy slumber they started singing and have never stopped. Where the Pickles came from and where they are going remains a mystery. From the great Depression to the Great Recession, the Pickles run the gamut of old timey styles, even grabbing an occasional 80’s pop tune and turning it into a flap happy chicken scratchy 78 RPM tune. Armed with a Frankenststonian array of homemade monster instruments, their musical recipe is flavored with Jug Band, Hokum and Honkeytonk spices. In 2002 a mysterious green iceberg was discovered by a band of unemployed pirates in Lake Michigan. Frozen inside were the Pickle Boys, cold solid in a chunk of sour brine. The DFPP were hoisted aboard, chiseled free and re-animated by the ships 8/4 BenJammin’ Love, Live", your kids will learn about health, safety, respect and science—all while having so much fun they won't even realize they are learning!!

In each energized performance, they inspire children from the audience to sing along, dance, play instruments and even write new songs! With every new performance, BenJammin and Analisa get children excited about achieving goals, reading/writing, hygiene and safety all in a format to build confidence. Jammin’ with BenJammin’ and Analisa Gauthier gives kids a chance to move, play and sing along with Educational Music. With songs like "The Safety Belt Song", "Keep in Shape" and "Dream, 7 Shady Grove Story Telling & Traditional Music with Robin Nott 8/11 story and a song, Robin enables listeners to experience new worlds through the eyes of a child; pure, brightly colored, just, wonder-filled, and blessed with song.
