Project Overview

The Vetted Programs were created by request from SELCO public library directors and intended to involve less library staff time dedicated to individual programming plans. Library staff expressed a desire for a simple, turnkey program approach that they could easily implement and manage for their communities. SELCO and the Vetting Committee maintain a catalog of performers on contract with SELCO to provide their services. Jason's show is a fun, fast paced comedy juggling show for people of all ages. The show is packed with juggling, the Chinese diabalo, balancing, a top hat manipulation routine, unicycling and juggling on a 6 foot unicycle and optional juggling of knives and fire torches. Everyone is fully engaged throughout the entire show with the technical skills as well as audience participation.
