"What an outstanding performance you gave the
Mercer Island Community! It was one of the finest puppet theaters
I have seen. The music, storytelling and creativity with the shadow
puppets culminated in a wonderful experience. I truly appreciated
you answering questions and showing the children how the puppets
were manipulated on the set to create the special effects. The
"afterward" really helped increase the cultural awareness and
understanding of the story and setting."
