A fun loving and caring Moose! Specializing in ages 1-7, Marcia captivates young children with a show that combines guitar, magic and puppets. The New York Times includes her as one of five featured children’s entertainers... Avenue magazine states: “There are only a handful of must-have marquee names, including...Marcia the Musical Moose.” An unusual moose indeed— with a B.A. in acting and a M.S.Ed. in early childhood education from Bank Street— Marcia adapts her performance to each age group, bringing humor, flexibility and fun to all her shows. Filled with participation, the show begins with a sing-along of familiar and silly songs accompanied by guitar or hand motions. Toddlers shake colorful eggs or toss rainbow-color scarves. A magic wand out of balloons and simple, silly magic follow (naturally, the birthday child is the magical helper). Everyone meets a shy, but friendly, large cuddly puppet, perhaps Carli the Camel or Barclay the Bird. Finally, a beautiful curtain sets the stage for a puppet show! Themes include: Barnyard, Dinosaur, Magical Forest, Jungle or Underwater. A farewell treat: Each child receives a moose finger puppet party favor (the birthday child gets five!). In addition to private birthday parties, Marcia performs at schools, camps, libraries, hospitals and corporate events, and grazes far and wide into New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
