September 24, 2020

This semester isn’t what anyone expected, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make the most of it! If you’re a student director, or part of your university’s student activities department, you might be wondering how the heck you’re going to bring entertainment to your campus this year. Understanding that the pandemic era has put the majority of live entertainment at a standstill, we’ve done our best to provide solutions and inspiration for student directors all … Continued

Escape Rooms

“eople absolutely loved the Escape Rooms and your team was incredibly easy to work with. I really appreciate all of your help in coordinating all of the details!

As the summer begins, my captains will begin solidifying the details for their events in the fall so they’ll be in contact with you and I know that some of them have reached out already. We look forward to working with you again to execute another series of successful events!”

Glow Events

“The Bowling event was great! The staff was very friendly and they set up as quick as they were able to despite the hassle of getting on campus. We ended up starting the event at around 12:30p. The students really enjoyed themselves as well. Before I got to NYU about a month ago (I was at Columbia before), their events weren’t as extravagant as this so both the administrators and students were very pleased. I am looking forward to bringing even more events like this moving forward.”

— Josephine, New York University

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

— Paige, East Stroudsburg University

Inflatables

“I just wanted to reach out to personally thank you for the part that you played in making Penn State Homecoming’s Allen Street Jam 2023 such a smashing success! The airbrush apparel items were such a hit this year and people really loved all the options available to them. You were amazing to work with and I will certainly leave a note for my successor to try their best to continue this partnership in the future! Thank you again, I truly enjoyed working with you over this past year!”

— Henry, Penn State University – University Park

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

Elizabeth Acevedo

“She [Elizabeth Acevedo] was wonderful. It was a perfect fit for the event, the audience loved her! She gave them a space to explore some emotions they may have or need to understand from an outsider’s perspective or just a space to hear what she had to say abut her experiences, observations, etc. One of the students from the club we were collaborating with even said we need to bring her back in the future. She is one performer we will be keeping in our heads for future performances.”

— Emily Umstead, Aquinas College

Brian Ledbetter

“During a time when first year students are uneasy about making friends, adjusting to college, and getting to know each other; Brian [Ledbetter] was able to bring them together through illusions! Students were consistently asking where to finding the roving mentalist at our Create your Own Adventure Event during Welcome Week at Temple University, and they were not disappointed when they found him. We could not have asked for a better addition to our event than Brian!”
