Quotes from Educators
As part of Magical Moonshine Theatre's residency programs we often do assembly programs for grades k-8. School assembly programs are generally about 45-50 minutes long, offering an introduction to performing arts as well as various themes to the students. Below are some quotes from teacher and administrator feedback.

"Fresh, clever dialogue, moves along...kids in the audience will identify with your son. Positively continue offering this show to Junior High." -teacher, eighth grade
"Fantastic puppets, props. Great enthusiasm. I really appreciated having a more well-rounded story that shows the Mexican and international heritage of this area! Can't wait for your next show!" -teacher, third grade
