Theatre Institute Touring Shows
The Theatre Institute at Sage has two self-contained touring productions available to Capitol Area elementary schools, Bizzy the Safety Dog - a performance that teaches children good safety skills - and The B-Bomb Show - a show dealing with the issue of bullying. Our touring productions require little to no technical support from the host school and are designed to fit in any space large enough to accommodate the size of the audience as well as comply with NYS Learning Standards. The flexibility of these touring productions as well as their application to, and relationship with current issues elementary school teachers and students face daily make these shows a wonderful addition to the teaching environment.
The B-Bomb Show Description:
The “B” is for Bully.
Developed for students in grades K-5, The B-Bomb Show is designed to equip students with skills and strategies to combat the bully.
Studies show that the most effective approach to altering the bully culture is to empower the victims and the bystanders with strategies with which to deal and defuse the situation.
Through the use of puppets, sets and props, this fully staged production invites the students into real-world scenarios and encourages audience member participation.
This interactive, four person traveling production includes study guide, talkback and opportunity for teacher evaluation.

Bizzy the Safety Dog Show Decsription:
Bizzy, the Safety Dog to the rescue! Stopping children BEFORE they get into trouble with The Safety List:
- Be alert

- Always take care of yourself and others
Prevention is key to avoiding childhood injuries. Research has shown that implementation of school safety programs can increase safety by over 40%. This show empowers students to become partners with parents and teachers to protect themselves and others.
Join two young students as they go through a typical day at school and somehow seem to find trouble running to the bus, arriving at school, in the classroom, in the cafeteria, at recess, on the bus and afterschool. Luckily, Bizzy, the Safety Dog is always close by, stopping the children just before they get hurt or perhaps hurt someone else.
