The “FUNance” show is available anywhere the entire show can travel to, but mostly performances are in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Pricing is dependent on your school’s location. Please email or call
518-584-3647 for the rates for your area.
There are two versions of the FUNance show:
- Younger students (Grades K-2 or K-3)
- Older students (Grades 3-5 or 4-6)
Both versions are similar, but the show for the younger students has more magic and more silliness.
The version for the older students has more detail, a bit more math, and a module about debt and credit cards.
Based on both the entertainment and educational aspects of the show, it is best to group students together by the above grades. However, customized versions of the show can be created upon request to focus on your specific groups!
The show is almost entirely self-contained. Requirements:
1. An electrical outlet within 50 feet of the performance area.
2. A ceiling height of at least 8’2”.
3. Performance space of approximately 12 feet wide by 4 feet deep.
4.An audience ready to have fun, laugh and learn!
The show can be performed in a gymnasium, cafeteria, auditorium, on a stage or on the same level as the audience.

Q: How can you teach young students about how and why to save money without boring them or lecturing them?
A: By making it fun! “Savagator” and “Spendosaurus” each handle money differently. They get into a race on stage to see who can get to the saving goal first; every time they receive money (gifts, doing extra chores) they move forward, and move backwards every time they spend money. Students see visually what happens when money is received, saved and spent, and learn about saving in a fun way! (Older students learn more about debt, and volunteer actors play the roles of “Big Spender” and “Big Saver”.
