For decades, the United States has been celebrating and honoring the women who have contributed to our history, society, and culture during the month of March. Milestones of women can often be overlooked, so this time of year is dedicated to noticing, appreciating, and understanding the important women who may be left out of the classroom and social discussions. As educators, we have the important opportunity to encourage the study of these women, inside and outside of our classrooms. 

Mobile Ed is proving once again that learning doesn’t have to stop when you leave the classroom, and the thirst for knowledge doesn’t stop when you grow up. In fact sometimes the older we get, the more we appreciate the lessons we learn from the past, especially those from Thomas Edison.

We have had numerous historical characters come through Mobile Ed over the years.  Our time machine has allowed Thomas Edison, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ben Franklin, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain (and even Huckleberry Finn, if he counts) to visit tens of thousands of schools and institutions all over the country.  

One character that's always been missing from our menu is Theodore Roosevelt, but not anymore!Now, thanks to experienced historical performer Peter Small, Teddy Roosevelt joins our lineup of professionall "living history" characters!  We're very excited to be featuring another historical icon more off the beaten path than Abraham Lincoln, which while an excellent program, we realize many schools have already experienced and are looking for something new for this generation of students.

History comes alive with Thomas Edison - now available in Califorina and the Pacific Northwest

Our Thomas Edison assembly program has been a mainstay in our lineup for years.  Some of our very best performers have played the role of the world's greatest inventor including Joe French, Jim Tait, Ryan Thompson, Tom Swenson, Tom Johnson and more.

Now, Peter Small joins the list of world-class Thomas Edison performers!  This veteran history performer also portrays George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson in school assemblies of their own.  He will be playing Edison (and the other characters) in schools in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nedava, New Mexcio and Colorado, with other states to be announced.

Announcing a New Assembly and a New Performer!

Mobile Ed Productions is proud to announce the newest member of the school assembly family - veteran historical performer Peter Small!  Mr. Small has been impersonating nearly a dozen different historical characters all over the country for the last 20 years.
