Our Impact
Testimonials
Extraordinary. Spectacular. Wonderful. Beautiful. And best of all the children LOVED it. Thank you.
…the festival has become the liveliest attraction of the year.
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.
