Help Inspire Young Readers with Balloon Storytelling!

Help Bring "Story Time with a Twist" to Life!

Hi, my name is Rob Corba, and I’m a professional balloon artist and children’s entertainer from Clio, MI! Through my business, Mr. Twist, I bring joy, creativity, and interactive fun to kids and families at festivals, schools, libraries, and community events.

A New Show to Inspire Young Readers

I’m currently developing a brand-new, literacy-focused stage show called Story Time with a Twist—a 45-minute interactive performance that brings classic fairy tales to life using balloon costumes, music, sound effects, and audience participation. Children become the stars of the show, acting out beloved stories in a way that is both entertaining and educational. My goal is to take this engaging and inspiring program to libraries, schools, daycares, fairs, and festivals, encouraging kids to fall in love with reading and storytelling.

Why I Need Your Help

To make this dream a reality, I need additional training to elevate my performance and create a truly unforgettable experience for young audiences. That’s why I’m raising funds to attend Mooseburger Clown Arts Camp in August—an intensive training program taught by alumni of the world-famous Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College.

While I don’t plan to become a clown, this camp will provide world-class instruction in performance, character development, and stage presence, all of which will help me create a high-quality, engaging, and professional show.

How Your Support Will Help

I’m seeking to raise $3,170 to cover the following expenses:

✈️ $700 – Flights to Minneapolis, MN

$1,470 – Tuition, lodging, meals, and ground transportation for Mooseburger Clown Arts Camp (Aug. 5-10)

$600 – Professional branded show backdrop

$400 – Speaker, microphones, lighting, and performance supplies

Support the Magic of Storytelling!

Every donation, big or small, will help bring Story Time with a Twist to life and provide kids with a fun and interactive way to engage with books and storytelling.

I would love your support in making this dream project a reality. Thank you for believing in the power of storytelling, creativity, and childhood imagination!
