The author, plays the role of Chef Gatchel and reads the book to the children with the help of the puppets, magic and comical antics. Mr. Samuel Formica, the author, has been in the entertainment industry for many years in his role as "Sammy J," an Elvis tribute artist, and is also an accomplished artist with works that adorn the walls of museums and private collections. All of that notwithstanding, his real passion has always been to bring fun and laughter to children and to show them the value of real live social interaction as well as making smart nutritional choices. WC gatchel and Friends has been endorsed by Physicians, School Principles, Teachers, Parents and even a State Senator. WC Gatchel not only performs at Schools, daycares and libraries but also smaller venues like birthday parties and even book readings. A versatile performer WC has the gift of laughter and will light up the smiles in every room. We look forward to hearing from you. "The show was fantastic! The children and the staff loved the performance! WC Gatchel is very entertaining and informative! Thank you so much to Dr. Bolno for sponsoring one of our performances. Bravo WC Gatchel!!" Mimi Porsia Principal, Christopher Columbus Charter School Dawn Orlando 2nd grade The students in the Early Learning Center, Kindergarten and Second Grade at St. Monica School had the pleasure of attending WC Gatchel's Presentation on nutrition and healthy eating. He used puppets and props to portray to the children the importance of developing good eating habits. The children were completely engaged in the presentation and were able to answer questions about the right things they should be eating. It was a wonderful learning experience for the children! Little Duckies Daycare had this wonderful show performed a few weeks ago and the kids (and teachers) LOVED it! They talked about the performance all day. We will have you back again in a few months!! Lisa Lombardo Michele Ann Thank You for performing at Bright Horizons at Hopewell~ The children are still talking about the morning show!! What a great way to spend the morning! Bringing awareness in a fun enviornment in keeping their bodies healthy!!

Review by Holland S.

EventReviewed on September 2, 2018From Philadelphia, PA

WC Gatchel and Friends was fantastic! He was professional and left enough time for set-up. The kids loved his magic tricks and he kept their attention throughout the show. Our facility takes care of medically fragile children from birth to 21. WC Gatchel went around to all the non-ambulatory children to include them in the show. He was loud enough for everyone to hear even with ventilators and monitors beeping! We are currently teaching some toddlers about potty training and eating healthy. WC Gatchel included these in his show and the kids learned so much in a fun way! I would highly recommend WC Gatchel!

Sam was able to capture all of the children's attention from the beginning of his show. I was very impressed with his overall performance. They laughed and the participated and most importantly it was educational. Thank you so much for the great performance! Adrienne Hampton
