TAFFY Presents

In 1988 TAFFY became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The festival ran until 1995 and also toured a production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

TAFFY Presents, part of the nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity Theatre Arts Festival For Youth, entertains underserved children and their families with fine arts performances and educational workshops. A BRIEF HISTORY:

In 1985, Theatre Arts Festival for Youth in association with the National Park Service presented performers from all over the United States and Canada to family audiences and underprivile

ged children at the Peter Strauss Ranch in Agoura, California. TAFFY continued to grow, bringing multi-disciplined workshops to schools and libraries throughout southern California. The adventure moves to another exciting level as TAFFY Presents continues the tried and true tradition of quality performances reaching children and their families across the United States! Performers with hearts of gold share their variety of talents to enthralled audiences wherever they can congregate including personal visits to hospital rooms. TAFFY Presents gifts each venue with a box of 50 mixed CDs and DVDs from quality children's music performers so the magic and fond memories can continue.

We love it whenever Laurie Blue Music comes to interact and create original musical moments with the Shelter House kids in Fairfax. she does a FANTASTIC job.
I, Irene Light, am a licensed public school music teacher and I am blown away by Laurie's style. The parents love it too!❤️🎶😎

We had a blast at the TAFFY Presents interactive program at the shelter! Families gleefully played various drums, tambourines, sticks, and shakers while I sang with my guitar. One of my favorite moments was when a girl laid out many drums in front of her on a table and beat different sounds and rhythms from her “drum kit” to the classic rock and kids’ songs. We also enjoyed when a boy proudly played us a tune on the piano. And then there was that cutie-pie in the high chair who excitedly tried all the instruments and knew the gestures to “Wheels on the Bus.” There were many languages spoken in the room but everyone knew Music!
