“The Bea and The Bug! was an outstanding performance here at the hospital and made a difference in the lives of our patients. We have already received an overwhelming response. Whether it was the wide smiles on the faces of our patients or the therapeutic energy [the show] brought to the atrium space, everyone agrees, it was a sensational hit!” said Dana Kristina-Joi Morgan, Performance Coordinator at Children’s National Medical Center.

“We were thrilled to once again perform at Children’s National – it’s our fifth performance over the years since the show originally launched in 1999, and you can’t beat the smiles on the faces of the kids and the adults,” echoed Gale Nemec, who heads the Alexandria-based non-profit Education and Entertainment Foundation, Inc. and is the show’s creator and Executive Producer.
