Quotes about “The Grasshopper and The Ant” from presenters of the show

“Intimate, engaging theater…storybook-like… high art… minuscule detail…the story remains the center.”---Sabine Hirsohn, Organizer: children’s events

“The stage and its multi-layered backdrop is captivating and unusual, especially for preschoolers, who were immediately transported into that magical world. Elementary aged students, 6 to 9 years, seemed to be very impressed by the construction of the set and the puppetry. The innocence of the performance is such a breath of desperately needed child-like fresh air--thank you so much!!!!!” ---Judy Donovan, Lower Elementary teacher

“Your new ‘paper puppet theater’ was wonderful. You capture the ‘old world’ sense of presentation with music, storytelling, and techniques. Visually, your use of materials was phenomenal. The puppets seemed simple, yet everything around them was more complex, from the moving tracks to the sparkling fairy scenes, and the changing backdrops. You really involved the children's imaginations more than entertaining them. We all got caught up in the inner workings of your magical forestland, while the grasshopper was focused on finding his purpose. The characters had ‘real’ lives, based on reality, but allowed for imagination, dreaming, whimsy and magic in the outcome. And the moral at the end, that whatever small gift we possess has a great importance in the universe, is the happiest ending. You two don't just roll up your sleeves, you immerse yourselves into your show, and involve the audience, and give them something to walk away with. BRAVO!” ---Cheryl Moore, Principal
