Ebony Sunshine came and did a presentation at our Church for our Black History Program. We were all in agreement that the presentation was excellent and educational. The more mature members enjoyed the presentation just as much as the younger members. If you are looking for something new and exciting, I would recommend them.
Ebony Sonshine's energetic puppet show really brought the house down at Springhill Lake Elementary School! The educational show focused on the importance literacy plays in our lives and really drew in the attention of the K-3 audience! Thanks again for the awesome performances!!
We were part of the literacy Showcase Event at Greenbelt Middle School and we really enjoyed the puppets. They had a lot to offer to the students. Hope they will be able to expand into other schools with this great and unique educational performance.
Attached is a video of Ebony Sonshine Puppets performing their contemporary hip-hop rendition of the alphabet recital at our 2nd Annual Literacy Day Kickoff Evening Showcase Thursday, October 22nd at Greenbelt Middle School.
As the liaison for the promotion and celebration of literacy at Greenbelt Middle School, our goal has been to engage the community in motivating our students to promote and celebrate literacy. Ebony Sonshine Puppets has committed to partnering with Greenbelt Middle School to help us take our message and mission to the community of Greenbelt Elementary schools that feed into our middle school community. This initiative and partnership began in October 2015 (22nd) with our 2nd Annual Literacy Day Kickoff Evening Showcase 6:30pm-8:30pm in our multi-purpose room. Their contemporary hip-hop version of reciting the alphabet had our middle school students swaying and bopping to the rhythm of the music. I am excited with enthusiastic expectancy of continuing this partnership with plans to visit Springhill Lake Elementary during the school day for a literacy pep-rally that will include engaging the K-3 students with a puppet performance by Ebony Sonshine Puppets.
Ebony Sonshine Inc. (ESI) is a wonderful non-profit organization and the best puppet ministry in the area. I am happy to be a board member of such a great organization. Keep up the good work ESI.
I met Ebony Sonshine, Inc. at an event in August of 2014 and I was very impressed with the puppet show they performed. After a lengthy conversation with one of the directors, I was very excited about being a part of ESI. I am an Educator, so when I was asked to be a part of their Life Development Division, I did not hesitate. It has been over a year now and working with the organization has been very fulfilling.
I have two teen-aged children of my own, so it feels good to be a part of something that is helping in the development of our youth.
I attended a couple of their fundraising functions and have seen serval of their ministry shows, reaching out to people of all ages...great organization!
