Blue Man Group Creates High-Tech NYC Preschool

Margot Adler:

You may have come across Blue Man Group over the years -- the humanoid trio with blue heads who play weird instruments on stage and do crazy things. But Blue Man Group is no longer three quirky performance artists; they are a multimillion dollar operation with seven companies in North America, Europe and Japan.

The original founders of the group have started a preschool in New York's East Village that is called -- appropriately -- Blue School.

At first glance, Blue School seems very normal in comparison to the blue-headed performance artists. There are cheery classrooms, books, clay, blocks -- all the things expected in a good preschool. There are a few Blue Man things, like the speaking tubes that snake along the ceiling and allow kids to speak to each other from a distance.
