Reviews
“★★★★★ … amusing, charming, delightful and, at times, utterly and completely astonishing.” – Lorraine Treanor, DC Theater Scene
“Achingly beautiful…The setup is ingenious and inventive with what seem to be deliberately low-tech execution of some very ambitious production ideas…The puppets are captivating in their design simplicity and impressive in their use. The costumes seem right out of a George Lucas movie. In fact, everything about the production feels perfectly integrated, and the storytelling is personal, enchanting, and rich… Alex and Olmsted have devised a beautiful piece of theater … ” – Max Garner, MD Theatre Guide
