Teachers, find out more about AmerenUE’s agreement with the National Theatre for Children (NTC) to bring a live theatrical show, Boomerang Jack and the Unseen Green Machine, to 100 schools across Missouri this fall and again in the spring!
Any school in AmerenUE’s 57-county Missouri service territory can request this zany but highly educational show. The program is offered to educators free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis.
The 25-minute program delivers important messages about energy conservation and renewable energy as it entertains children in grades K-6. Educators are encouraged to call The National Theatre for Children at 800.858.3999, ext. 1, to request a performance.
The play features a cast of memorable characters, including the evil Great Waster of Energy, ace reporter Aberdeen Jean, the absentminded Professor Whatshisname and Boomerang Jack himself. The play also comes with a full suite of educational materials, including grade-appropriate workbooks and teacher guides. These materials reinforce the messages of Boomerang Jack and the Unseen Green Machine.
Boomerang Jack and the Unseen Green Machine is performed by professional actors from The National Theatre for Children. Based in Minneapolis, Minn., The National Theatre for Children specializes in writing and performing educational programs for children nationwide using simple sets and audience participation.
