AUDIENCE COMMENTS

“Very much so! It was very different but extremely effective. Loved the “stay and play” session – excellent leadership!”
“3 year old and his 3 year old friend enjoyed the comedy (falling off chairs) and stay and play VERY MUCH. I’ve never seen him as concentrated and engaged as he was during the stay and play.”
“Thoroughly enjoyed it. There was lots of energy and movement that really captured the imagination of the whole group.”
“Great show again! Very captivating for the whole audience! Also stay and play great fun for the kids.”
