Children and their grownups always respond with wonder and delight to this high energy, generous, breathtakingly inventive, gifted company of storymakers

CANDACE BARRETT Associate Director Angeles Children’s Museum

I know my students enjoyed the performance a great deal because no one made a peep… how rare a rapt eight-year-old audience is. Congratulations!

LINDA D. MELLANO Teacher

“I can’t tell you what a boon it was to the Playhouse to find We Tell Stories. We invested a great deal of time and energy searching for appropriate programming for K-6th graders. We feel that We Tell Stories fit the bill perfectly with Let Them Eat Books. It was an engaging show that brings to life favorite literature an poetry in an accessible yet intelligent manner. I’m hard pressed to say who loved it more—the teachers, their students or the Playhouse staff.”

PATTI SARANTIERO Director of Outreach & Education, La Jolla Playhouse.

“It is such a delight to see the joy in the children’s faces when they come out of the auditorium after one of your performances. The actors consistently do an excellent job and are able to handle children with ease.”

“The infectious enthusiasm of the troupe captured the entire audience, encouraging them to sing, laugh, and even shout along with the different story plots… When the last story had been told and the clapping had ceased, there were smiles everywhere as people left the building to go about the rest of their day with positive, uplifted spirits”

LYNN WILLIS RODMAN The Culver City Post
