Our Impact
Testimonials
We loved the performance!!! It was well structured, energetic, informative, interactive and so joyful.
My class will most remember the quality of the act we saw. It was superb. Absolutely memorable for Kindergarteners. They laughed their heads off.
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.
