"The actors were fantastic and the kids loved being involved in the audience as well as onstage!"
"OUR KIDS WERE MESMERIZED WITH THE SHORT, BUT UNDERSTANDABLE MORALS, THE EAST THEME RELATED TO THEIR HERITAGE AND THAT OF FRIENDS, MAKING IT MEANINGFUL. WATCHING THEIR PEERS GO ONSTAGE WAS THE BEST PART FOR THEM."
