Quotes from Educators

"Wow!  What a great show!  I especially enjoyed the use of English and Spanish.  The singing was superb and the story line engaging at all times.  The folktale led us to a discussion about human rights, oppression and greed."
Teacher, Second Grade

"Absolutely great!  The children were entranced!  Music, puppets, staging, singing, performance, all were great!  We especially enjoyed the way the two languages were inter-mixed to tell the story in such an effective way.  Five Stars!"
Teacher, First Grade
