Return School Shows

We have had several schools ask about follow up school shows with the Think and Be Me crew

We also offer schools the chance to host a Think and Be Me School Show at a reduced or co-funded cost.

These engaging performances bring the program’s characters and concepts to life, providing a memorable and interactive experience for your students.

Visit School Shows Information for details on show options and costings and then make contact with us to bring a follow up show to your school.
