Resilience show overview:
Welcome to the Prank Factory! Anything can happen here, from wolves chasing their tails to puppets playing with whoopie cushions and rubber chickens. We know kids love jokes, tricks and pranks, and ‘The Prank Factory’ is where all our resilience scenarios occur. When Bruce (the fluffy green monster) and Calvin (the wise shopkeeper) open the store and wait for the customers, not everything runs to plan. It's Bruce's first day on the job, so with Calvin's help, Bruce learns how to be more resilient. When Bruce encounters a problem and isn't sure what to do in the scenario, he presses PAUSE on the story and invites the presenters and students to help him talk through his problem. Bruce learns with the children; he is funny, tries new things and sometimes makes mistakes.

During the show audience members will also meet Ms Wanda the dog, Imogene, a flamboyant social media influencer, Mr Green, who wants to take over the world; and an unhappy customer named 'Irritable Al'. The Prank Factory show also includes a game, audience participation and two songs.
We have also written some lesson plans that can be used after the show as a follow-up.
