The UNIMA-USA Citation of Excellence is the highest national award for excellence in puppetry for the United States. Little Blue Moon Theatre is proud and pleased to accept this award for "Natalie" and "The Widow" (which were performed as a double feature at the Puppet Rampage National Puppetry Festival in 2007.) This is the third "UNI Award" for the Nelsons, and the first as Little Blue Moon Theatre.

Review Panelists said: "Two stories that take place on a charming tiny stage. Natalie is the story of a puppeteer who strips down in her puppet booth till one day the wind blows it away. The Widow is a story about a risqué widow. Both shows were a perfect blend of visual, music and story. Both productions were extremely playful and beautifully crafted in every sense."
