"I just had to write to let you know how much our school...enjoyed the Tree Tales performance this morning. It was a wonderful way to start our day. They [the students] really liked the humor, colorful scenery, the singing and the dancing. Many of our teachers and staff were delighted that for almost an hour you held the attention of 3 year olds to 9 year olds! The children are already asking when you will be back. Thank you once again for bringing stories to life and for helping to create a love of the theatre in children so young." PTA Rep,
