What people are saying:
"[Ben Gown] is a truth teller who spins creative magic with puppetry and song. His unique ability to empower even the youngest child to feel like an artist of the highest caliber is truly worth the price of admission! The music and pageantry interacting with youth is not to be missed."
-Dr. Suzanne Gindin

"Ben Gown is incredibly talented and passionate in his trade! He is an impactful educator and entertainer, using puppetry and music to engage children and adults alike! High-quality edutainment, within a Jewish lens, is scarce and brings so many benefits. I love seeing all that Ben does and hope our paths cross again soon!"
-Sarah DeWoskin,
Director/Founder LEV Children's Museum
