Our Impact
Testimonials
I think everyone came out of the theatre with much to think about. For most in my class this was the first time they had ever seen live theatre. It is so much better than a movie. Thank you so much.
I have such great memories of the Festival after going every year for 20+ years of teaching.
The festival represents an attitude toward children’s theatre, a recognition that it is just as important as any form of theatre. They understand that just because they have a knee-high audience, it doesn’t mean you condescend to them, or give them anything less than artistic excellence.
