"The children and adults had a blast!" PTO Chair, Center School
"Your love of reading and learning new information through books came through loud and clear." The way you combined mime movements with verbal commentary was very successful. It was a perfect show for a library!
You gave a whole new dimension to the art by adding a brief verbal introduction to each of the 26 short alphabet pieces, and the inclusion of lots of volunteers was a great way to keep the large audience involved.
From A to Z, you had the kids and parents fascinated and thoroughly entertained. "Thank you for the outstanding show - we hope to have you back soon." Mary Proudfoot, Librarian, Brookfield Library, CT
