We have written before about Rojo, a truly inspiring school assembly presenter who has worked for us for many years. He currently performs our Character Counts assembly program - Inspector Iwannano - and also is one of our presenters for the portable planetarium Skydome here in the Midwest. But Rojo came to us originally to present our Martin Luther King school assembly, and he is still truly magnificent in that role and renowned for his presentations in schools throughout the Midwest. And that is what some students from Natcher Elementary in Bowling Green, Kentucky found out for themselves just recently!

Every year Mobile Ed tries to introduce new school assemblies for our client schools, either in the form of a totally brand new program or as a newly refurbished school assembly. And every year we have some clients who are disappointed when we withdraw from circulation an older school assembly program to make way for the new. But we also have many clients always asking for something new, and school assemblies do grow old with use. Sometimes they just need to be taken off the road for a season and freshened up a little.

Most schools that schedule our Martin Luther King school assembly program usually try to have it in January, near to Dr. King’s birthday or for Black History month in February. So we do not usually have to many performances of this school assembly playing in March. But this winter was a little rougher than most! Quite a few schools missed programs due to snow days and as a result are making up their performances now.

So you suddenly find yourself in the position of needing a school assembly. Oh, no! What do you do?

School assembly audiences across the Midwest and on the East Coast are likely familiar with a great school assembly performer from Mobile Ed Productions named Robert Pirtle. Robert comes to us from Memphis, Tennessee and is a multitalented individual who offers schools a variety of school assemblies including Bodyworks (a program on human anatomy), The Magic of Science, Martin Luther King and Frederick Douglas. However, Robert is also a very skilled mime and carries our two mime based programs Young Authors Day (Creative Writing) as well as Mime Time a simple exploration of the entertainment and cultural arts wonders inherent in the practice of classical mime.
