" . . . I would love to give you guys a good reference. You guys are just the best. You  mesmerize the kids; and I just can't say enough good things about your show . . . "
-- Nancy Manzo

"I want to thank you both for the wonderful job you did at our company picnic. I have to admit that if I had not seen you perform  . . . I probably wouldn't have hired you . . . Several of my fellow employees were very hesitant of the fact that we were having a 'puppet show', but after watching your performance, they have changed their minds. Your performance truly is for all ages!!"

 “. . .You could surely tell by the enthusiastic response of the members that you and your troupe of puppets and puppeteers won the hearts of everyone in your audience of mature women just as completely as if we were children. I absolutely loved . . . [all the] spirited numbers.

"I would like to complement you also on the professionalism of the presentation. The set-up of your stage and equipment as well as the lighting were all handled so smoothly. . . .”

"Thank you again for coming to Manhattan on super short notice. You saved the day! And my sanity.
