Olson Elementary
"James was so funny and had the kids (and teachers!) cracking up the whole time. If I could give more than 5 stars for audience control, I would. He had 500+ students leaving our gym in SILENCE because they were secret agents. Amazing! This was the second time he has performed at Olson and will definitely not be the last. We’ve enjoyed both the anti-bullyin..." Read more
