Presenter's
Approach:
From the moment an audience begins to enter the room, they
fall inevitably under Kitty's spell. With grace,
charm and a fast-as-lightning wit, she captures the hearts
of young and old by acting "in character" and
pulling them into the story before it's even begun.
Then the real magic begins.
As each show unfolds, audience members are deftly
incorporated into the plot. So skillfully is this
performed that often participants are thought to be
"plants" in the audience. Great
sensitivity is used when involving participants, as some
folks would prefer to simply watch the antics of their
comrades and enjoy the show.
Each
show is a unique, authentic portrayal utilizing
historically accurate props, costumes, dialects and
language. Filled with fun, facts, dance and music,
Kitty's shows rivet the audience to their seats.
History comes alive and the audience has a role to play.
