Chicago-based group uses humor to train Lansing teachers

http://vimeo.com/71105908  

For over 30 years, a unique troupe of American performers has taken to stages across America—and around the world—targeting a particular audience.

Wavelength is a Chicago-based musical-comedy ensemble that performs for teachers and school administrators.  Their carefully crafted routines address relevant issues in education, often irreverently.
 
Wavelength performs today here in Lansing.  They’re appearing for the Lansing School District’s Professional Development Day gathering. Wavelength’s founder, Jim Winters, called in to tell us about the organization.
