“Diane’s program is wonderful! Her rendition of The Three Little Pigs really captured her audience. There was an abundance of laughter and audience participation! Her puppets were a true hit.”

Cathy Quesenberry, Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, Ancramdale, New York
“We had about 200 people, adults and kids, under our Children’s Tent. The audience loved her and we have asked her to come back and also to another festival in Rhode Island. She was on time, performed even more than we had asked, and was very flexible. Most enjoyable! You will not regret hiring Diane.”

Janice Ellerin, Hollis Library, Hollis, New Hampshire
“Thanks again for coming to the Hollis Library and putting on such a wonderful show. The children and parents were enthralled. The lights and sound system gave the performance such a professional feel. Not only was the show great but your talking with the kids and bringing out the puppets to meet the children after the show just extended our pleasure. As I said, the best compliment to get is an invitation back. As I plan for the performances in the spring, I’ve already got a spot for you.”

Joanne Scobie, Lebanon Library, Lebanon, New Hampshire
“I think you are great with the kids, interacting and flexible about incorporating some of their ‘bits’. You really held their attention. I also love your puppets. They (and your voices) are expressive and consistent in character.”

Stacey McLaughlin, Country Kids Daycare, Weare, New Hampshire

“The teacher’s couldn’t believe you held the attention of the 2-3 year olds! They really enjoyed the Elves and the Shoemaker. The Pre-K group was delighted and just loved your show! I’m planning to have you back this summer!”

“The families loved Friendly Forest Folktales and it was a wonderful way to finish up our Summer Library Adventure. One family said it was their favorite performance of the whole summer. I thought your puppet stage, and your lighting, worked especially well, and the stories were perfect for the age group. You mixed humor with gentle messages, and the program was a real treat.”

Martha Richard, Youth Service Librarian, Richard Salter Storrs Library, Massachusetts
“The girls & boys in the audience loved to hear your enchanting tales of friendship, sharing, & helping. Your focus on audience participation in you performance made the show entertaining & full of fun. You knew just what the audience would like & each little adventure was met with enthusiasm. We would love to have you back in the future.”
