Testimonials
I have such great memories of the Festival after going every year for 20+ years of teaching.
It is so unique in the way it is set up for kids! You get such a sense that they feel honoured and respected by such rich activities and performances that are created just for them.
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.
