"My kids thoroughly enjoyed the play. My 3 year old turned round to me 10 minutes in and said “we must come back here”. The actors were very professional. We’ll be coming back with friends. "

"A wonderful experience, the cast were excellent, the staging clever and both the adults and children enjoyed it hugely...and safely. The 1st exposure of the children to classical music and the realisation that instruments can have personalities. They were absorbed in it! Thank you all. "

"It was such a lovely show. My children loved it. It was pitched at the perfect level for little ones. The open air theater is such a pleasant venue on a warm day. "

"Be sure to pack a picnic blanket and some snacks for first time visitors to the Children's Theatre! Evening performances need a jacket too! It is a truly marvelous show, my daughter and I were swept up in a wonderful world of imagination! I can't recommend enough!"
