This was the first “staged” production that has come to our school. Before attending the performance the class visualized the cafeteria as a stage. Your presentation (props, lights) surprised all the students; great job in adapting your performance to different settings.”

- Layna McCarkle, Howard Elementary –
“The students enjoyed the humor and “big stage” in our “normal” gym. Thank you very much for doing these “on the road” performances. Our students have little or no opportunities for drama (or any fine arts); 90% of them will never experience live theater.”
