Our Story

Two years of research went into producing the highly lauded and effective child s*xual abuse prevention production, “Simon Says Just Tell”. The comprehensive program is designed for in-school presentation to elementary schoolchildren and educators Kindergarten through Grade 5 and teaches children how to recognize, prevent and disclose s*xual abuse. Handled in a most sensitive way, important safety concepts are introduced by the main character, “Simon”. Simon is a cute little green character, who serves as an inner voice and conscience and gives children the guidance and strength to do the right thing when a potentially dangerous situation occurs. He always shows up at just the right time to help children out of difficult situations, and to empower children to understand and be proud of their own self-worth and the right of sanctity of their own body.

Presented in a gentle, non-threatening way, “Simon Says Just Tell” is filled with all the excitement of a Broadway musical and has won an Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The mood of the show is happy to serious, never somber or scary. This 45-minute production comes with a professional marionette stage, a high quality sound system and sound track created by Juno award-winning children’s singer songwriter, Norman Foote. The handcrafted marionettes were produced by Virginia’s own master puppeteer, Regina Marscheider, who has designed more than 400 hand-sized to life-sized puppets.

In this story, Mom is about to get married to her boyfriend, “Martin”. She is the mother of two young children, Lori and Doug. While Doug is enamored by Martin and all the gifts he bestows on him, Lori has severe reservations and for good reason. With the right mix of story and music including a sing-a-long song “This Is My Body”, children learn how to recognize the sanctity of their own bodies and give voice to their instinct and intuition, and to better protect themselves
