A Birdy Told Me So: A Musical Ventriloquist Show for BC Elementary Schools

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.

Why Teachers & Principals Love This Show

  • Curriculum Connections: Supports social-emotional learning, perseverance, and creative expression.
