Here is a menu of workshops available for your organization or classroom. Some of these are in given collaboration with Class Action, www.classism.org,

“What Would You Do?”
The workshop opens with a 10-minute performance in which four humorous characters represent the conflicting voices we hear inside us when thinking about money. After the performance, the audience dialogues with the characters about their differing points of view. A workshop follows, tailored to the needs of the group, helping people explore their own inner voices and financial realities.

The Money Game
An interactive game based on the Game of Life developed at Findhorn, Scotland. Participants play with real money (each person decides how much) exploring the experiences of taking, giving and asking for money. This game provides an enjoyable but powerful means of learning more about one’s own relationship to money and about which conditions make it flow and which make it consolidate.

Fundraising: Who Is Asking for What?
This is a good workshop for non-profit boards and organizations that feel ambivalent about fundraising. Participants embody all the different possible feelings that people might have in the course of fundraising and being fundraised. Through play, a challenging topic is explored in a non-threatening way that reveals beliefs and attitudes without exposure. The outcome is that fundraisers are able to raise money more authentically and productively.

The Philanthropy Game
Chuck Blitz and Jeremy Sherman developed this game to help donors better understand what fundraisers go through. It is an experiential game where everyone is either a funder or a fundraiser looking for their match in a world of uncertainty.

Tailor-Made Workshops
You tell us what your organization is working on, what you wish to explore and what outcomes you would like to have, and we will design an experiential workshop to achieve those goals.

“The power of Dr. Ladd’s use of theatre is difficult to put into words, which is the point. Dr. Ladd is able to raise critical personal and societal questions regarding wealth, class and social justice in a manner that invites individual reflection as she provides the audience an experiential understanding involving your emotions, thoughts and personal relationship to the characters she has created based on her real life experience. Her portraying of different roles, using stereotypes, humor and challenging perspectives is a powerful opening for individuals and groups to examine more deeply their own questions around money and class.”
Claude Pepin, Senior Advisor, Marian Institute

“Jenny Ladd’s solo performance of her inner voices, some philanthropic, some not so, is a stunning revelation of a reality rarely so publicly recognized. It was engaging to watch, at moments hilarious, and thoroughly believable (because the characters are alive for her), and an active invitation to dialogue with our own inner voices. Truth released with such intelligence is bound to be transformative.”
John Bloom, Director, Organizational Culture, RSF Social Finance

“Talk about revealing the inner workings of our minds about money!!! Jenny’s four voices knocked me off my chair, they were so vivid and real … and funny at the same time. She should have a one-person show on Broadway!!!!”
Terry Mollner, a founder/ member of the Board, Calvert Social Investment Fund
 
“Jenny’s staging of the varying voices of the inheritor created a hilarious opening in our gathering and allowed all the participants to refer back to those perspectives in their comments. The value of her theatrical offering cannot be overstated, because she brings the issues to life in a matter of minutes, making the conversations more vivid, more grounded and more productive.”
Kathryn P. Davison, Ph.D., Founder, Tonic Capital

“Imagine our surprise when Jenny got up in front of us and became four different characters with different beliefs and attitudes about money. The performance was riveting and the transformation of Jenny into the four different characters got the point across in a manner that could never have the impact of words alone.”
Nancy Roof, Founder, Kosmos Journal

“Your performance moved the room. Your gift for theater and your muse comes through as true Thespian. Philanthropy is richer for your gifts.”
Pano Kroko, Visionary and Technology Social Entrepreneur

"Jenny can really make a room come alive, with her exquisite theatrical performances and delightful improv humor.  A group can travel into the depths of difficult topics like money, race, class and gender, but if Jenny is your tour guide, you're guaranteed to come out smiling."
