  Character Education- "Mat performed at our inaugural kickoff
assembly for our CHARACTER COUNTS! inititative.  His
storytelling and juggling talents compliment one another so well,
which captivates the children.  He is willing to listen to your needs
as a school, and tailor the performance to those needs."

Character Education- "Our students loved the performance of the
Patchwork Pear! Through acting. humor, music, and juggling, the
students were given the message to use 'respect' and
'responsibility.' It was a great kick off for our MEAP testing!"

are still talking about it a week later! It was great for both younger

you to come again!

2007 Summer Reading Program- "Your program was wonderful
and we had so many positive comments from adults and children
both! Kids were talking about learning to juggle and they were
showing me mime and asking me to guess what they were doing.
You are also the most approachable performers I have dealt with
and are very organized about keeping in touch. I know the
conditions at the museum aren't the best but you took it in stride
and both put on a wonderful show!"

2007 Summer Reading Program- "Our patrons (& staff) really
enjoyed the performance! It was wonderful to have so much
folklore included in the program. The staff liked the way you tied
part of the program to the summer reading program theme. I don't
usually care for mimes but I thoroughly enjoyed watching Mat. The
live music was a nice touch, too. We intend to invite them back!"

2007 Summer Reading Program- "I loved the Patchwork Pear and
so did all the kids and parents watching! Most of the parents and
grandparents came up and said how wonderful they were. They
are musical, mimical, and juggical (my inventive spelling). It was
interactive and entertaining. I highly recommend them!

2007 Summer Reading Program-"I would highly recommend the
Patchwork Pear! Their performances are highly entertaining and
very professional. I love the fact that they present folktales like
'The Legend of John Henry' and the poem 'Casey at the Bat' in a
fun and creative way that the kids really enjoy!"

Festival- "Mat strolled through the crowd at our festival,
mesmerizing young and old as he performed mime illusions and
juggled. He brought laughter and joy throughout the day. His
performance was a highlight in our festival's events. If you're

Mat Emerick. You will not be disappointed!"
