Rick Adam presents entertaining and effective performances dealing with social issues for all ages.
"Sound Choices" (for grades K-6) With a unique combination of songs, circus
arts and audience participation, this up-lifting,
entertaining program teaches children how
to build a foundation for healthy living.
Grades K-3 focuses on developing healthy
choices around food, exercise, emotions and
having fun. Grades 4-6 expands on how to make
positive choices, grow up substance-free and
create a balanced lifestyle.
“Be Cool, Be Safe” (for grades K-6) creates a fun jam of original music, mime, circus stuff, and audience participation that will help empower
children to make positive choices regarding bullying, taming tempers, preventing abuse and violence, resisting peer pressure, and celebrating differences.
It is an educational, enchanting, and highly entertaining performance designed to leave the audience with plenty of creative tools to build and maintain
harmony in our world.
"A Journey Through Addiction" (for grades 5-12) is a compelling theatrical production, using original
music, drama, mime and vaudeville, to explore alcoholism, drug dependency, eating disorders,
teen suicide, and self-destructive attitudes, encouraging students to make healthy choices and
build self-esteem.
"Resolving Rage" (for grades 6-12): This mesmerizing, autobiographical program teaches
easy-to-remember tools to control tempers, address bullying, channel
aggression, avoid conflicts, and simple tips on how to be smart and safe in
cyber-space. Rick delivers his message using music, mime, storytelling, and
a variety of stage skills to discover how to tap into student’s creative energy,
appreciate differences, and instill a positive outlook on life.
"Red's Recycle-O-Rama" (for grades K-6) uses audience participation, storytelling, magic, juggling, hand shadows, original songs, and Red's Original One-Man Junk Band to
offer fun-loving tips on how and why to recycle, reuse, and reduce.
“Shaking’ Up Shakespeare” (for grades 6-12)
Equipped with an electric guitar and his arsenal of
stage skills, Rick translates into modern times, the
works and world of Shakespeare. Rick shares his

teen issues and discover that the “Old Bard” still
rocks, raps, and rules!
