The National Theatre for Children's safety presentations feature AEP spokesbug Louie the Lightning Bug in a fast-paced performance designed for K-6 grade classes. These live presentations feature audience participation and take-home materials for students, and are offered each fall and winter/spring throughout the school year.

Eligible schools in AEP's service territory are mailed an invitation to host Louie unless the school has hosted the presentation within the past 12 months. Schools are eligible to receive the program once every other year. This better enables Louie to visit all elementary schools in our service area to ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn his important electrical safety messages.

If your school has not received an invitation or you are not sure, a school official may inquire about scheduling Louie by completing this request form.

Educational resources -- including materials featuring safety spokesbug Louie the Lightning Bug -- are available to help students and adults "play it safe around electricity" as supplements to classroom textbooks for pre-K through high school and adult.

Instructional and educational resources that provide information on energy, electricity, safety, environment and economics for educators, students and the general public also are available. These resources may be used to supplement classroom textbooks for pre-K through high school and adult.

Educators and customers living or working in the AEP service territory may request a list of free information resources. Be sure to include your name and a complete home or school address to which we can mail information.
