Overview
Santa Visits: I enter with handbells in hand. I recite: The Night Before Christmas. Then, I tell other stories, and sing songs based on how long a program you need. I bring my Santa's Book of Names, and I add their name to the book. See our videos!
Face Painting: Here are our reviews: "....Marc did a fabulous job. Marc kept the children entertained and his face paintings were awesome..." ...We had so much fun ! Marc was so great with the kids and very friendly. He made our party fabulous. We will definitely be using him again!!.."

Marc arrived well ahead of time, with a whole cart full of face paint, drums, games, hula hoops, parachutes, and more! Our kids LOVED it - he was kind, professional, and talented, and we can't wait to work with Marc again!

Marc was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly and funny and all of the kids loved him. He sang songs, played games, colored pictures and made everyone feel loved. Even the little ones that were initially shy or scared warmed up to Santa Marc.
Marc and Fran were both charming and sweet. Marc is definitely a people person and both are great with kids. They did some great face painting as well. They actually stayed longer than was requested. I will definitely use them again in the future!

Thank you, Dee!!! We had a great time with you and the Rhody's Red Nose Circus. Performers are wonderful people, and their circus was great!! It was so exiting to meet them--especially since many of them had traveled far to be part of the show!! We will never forget that day!!!!
The preschool kids had a great time. Watching the kids with funny hats marching while playing musical instruments was the most fun.

I recently hired Marc to join me at a Children's Hospital for face painting and puppet making. The Kids LOVED it! He was very engaging and interactive with the Kids. I look forward to working with Marc again in the future.

Response from Marc Kohler Arts Services:
Thank you!! I truly loved visiting your family!!!
He was the best Santa we have had. He had each child feeling special and so important. He read to the children and had them as well as some adults acting the story out. Took pictures with each child as well as one child who is special needs Santa was so loving and patient with him. Santa won his heart over. Thank you for such a magical/wonderful time. ❤️🎅

Thank you Liz. I will never forget my visit with your family. It was only the second time that I used Google maps!! This was a magical visit for me, and it is wonderful to hear how much the children liked it. Thanks, again,
It was one of the best experience my kids, nephews and I had. My parents enjoyed him too. I hope I get to book him again next year. Best Santa hands down, sweet and great with kids. Great stories too☺️
Our visit with Santa was everything we expected and more. Santa made the kids feel very comfortable and they all enjoyed themselves.

About
I grew up in Palo Alto, California, and graduated for Brown in 1969 with a degree in English and Theater. From 1969 to 1993, I ran the Puppet Workshop, a non-profit educational puppet theater. I first started playing Santa in puppet shows, and started playing him at malls 20 years ago. My partner, Fran Slade, has been playing Mrs. Claus even longer. She has been the Mrs. Claus at Pawtucket's Winter Wonderland for the past 18 years. We have been together for 12 years. We work either together or as singles. For the past seven years, I have worked at Lincoln Mall. Cape Cod Mall, Emerald Square Mall, and Providence Place Mall. Last year, Fran and I offered a Santa's Workshop at our studio. So, this is the first years that we will be available and on tour to events from Boston to Connecticut.
