I am so happy I found you.

I am so happy to have found you guys. I have never seen my daughter so devoted and happy in an activity like this one!  I am so in awe by everyone's kindness and how you inspire all these kids.

Freeing!

It is orderly enough not to be chaos but flexible enough to be freeing.

"Chickenshed Is The Greatest"

Chickenshed has allowed our daughter to gain more confidence in everything she does. Above all, it allows her to be herself! The happiness is contagious amongst the students and truly highlights what every student’s strengths are.

Every child should have the opportunity to experience a show; truly terrific.

Yesterday’s performance was outstanding! Chickenshed is the first group that we have been able to bring into school since the onset of the pandemic and we were blown away! What a perfect, age-appropriate, fun-filled morning with wonderful messages for young people! Our students loved the show, our teachers thought it was fabulous AND, the person who underwrote the performance just gave us the go-ahead to book 2 more! Thank you so much for sharing Chickenshed and bringing so much joy and energy to us on a Monday morning.

More fun than ever at Chickenshed this semester!

"....... thank you, Jaimie, and Hannah for another fantastic year of Tuesday workshops.  It has continued to be the highlight of the week for Lucy and Jane - many times this year Jane has asked why we can’t go to Chickenshed every day :) And tonight Lucy told me that she had more fun than ever at Chickenshed this semester (and I didn’t think that was possible!). She said she made so many amazing friends and that Chickenshed felt like more than a “third place” to her, it’s more like the center of her world."

All thanks to Chickenshed

Our son has taught the entire 4th grade at his school the sign language he knows for Don't stop Believin' and they are performing it at his choral concert in a few weeks.  Thats all thanks to Chickenshed!  Very cool.

Everyone has a voice!

Not only does each child have a voice, but it’s loud and clear that each Chickenshed player belongs
