Darren Collins
Darren's first school assembly
performance occurred when he was in the 5th grade.
A juggler came to his school to talk about 'character'
and used Darren as a volunteer. Darren juggled in
front of the whole school as his peers chanted his name.
He was hooked!
Years later (1997)
Darren began traveling the United States and abroad as a
full time performer and workshop teacher. He has
performed in thousands of schools, churches, and comedy
clubs in over 45 states and 13 countries. He has
authored several childhood education manuals and books.
Darren is our showcase
performer and the founder of Dallas Performers. |

Billy Oakley
Billy is perhaps our most enthusiastic
school assembly performer. He first toured the
United States in 2002 as a puppeteer, magician, juggler
and workshop teacher along with Darren Collins.
Together they taught thousands of child educators how to
use creative arts to effectively teach children and
youth. Billy continues to travel the country
performing at schools, youth camps, and churches.
Billy and his wife Ashley
live in Ellis County.

Rafael Rondon
Rafael Rondon has been performing for
over 15 years as a professional circus-style clown and
magician. In 1997 he helped develop and star in
several creative arts training videos designed to teach
child educators. Children's Outreach Network
introduced "Rafi" and Darren that same year.
Together in 1999 they performed for over 8,000 young
people in an arena in Bogotá, Colombia.
Rafael is also a
professional interpreter/translator and can perform
bilingual or Spanish language assemblies.
Rafael and his wife
Marilyn live in Tarrant County. |

Steven
Collins
Steven is our "heavyweight" speaker
for High Schools and youth centers on "drug resistance"
and "adversity" topics. He is a been-there,
done-that type of man. Incarcerated for most of his
adult years in some of the country's toughest prisons,
Steven has been in recovery from drug addiction for over
six years. From his own life experiences, Steven
teaches 'drug resistance', and 'overcoming adversity'
seminars at the prisons he once inhabited, as well as
youth and adult rehabilitation centers, schools and
colleges. Steven spent over 11 years in various
state prisons, and his powerful message is guaranteed to
connect with your youth.
