If child’s play really is a task that’s easily accomplished, “A
Bug’s Light!” does its job with generally rave reviews from
students and teachers alike.
And that job will continue Tuesday when Sparky the Wonder Bug
returns to entertain and teach thousands of elementary students
about electrical safety through a live theatre production of “A
Bug’s Light!” across Southern California Edison’s (SCE) service
territory.
Staged by The National Theatre for Children, the engaging
interactive safety learning production teaches students and their
families how to stay safe around electricity. Students from 40
elementary schools are scheduled to see the live performance, which
runs through Oct. 6 in Bellflower, Long Beach, El Monte, Palm
Desert, San Bernardino, Fontana, Santa Barbara, Visalia, Tulare and
other cities.
SCE offers the production as part of its public safety outreach
efforts.
“A Bug’s Light!” is a wonderful way to educate children early
and often about the benefits and hazards of electricity in an
entertaining environment,” said Don Neal, SCE’s director of
Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety. “SCE wants our
customers to understand electricity can be hazardous and we think
this program is vital in that it educates our children and young
adults as early as possible.”
In addition to urging students to stay away from downed wires
and to call 911 whenever they see them, the production teaches
children how electricity is made and used, how to identify
hazardous situations inside and outside their homes and generally
how to stay safe around electricity.
The production also features a combination of interactive
learning techniques, a live assembly performance using professional
actors, a classroom curriculum, homework assignments and activity
books in English and Spanish that students can take home and share
with their families.
