What? Puppets aren’t supposed to talk by themselves!
Unless, of course, you invite ventriloquist and puppeteer Kellie Haines to your school.
This year, BC elementary schools can bring in a unique, engaging performance that blends music, comedy, ventriloquism, and multimedia magic. The show, called “A Birdy Told Me So,” stars Kellie and her colorful bird puppet Magrau, who has a big personality and an even bigger appetite for granola bars. Together, they take students on an inspiring journey about never giving up, even when things feel tough.
