Audience Comments

To the Cast,

"My kids and I attended the show. It was a wonderful time. I am always looking for great clean, interactive fun for my children and I don't know of anything better on the front range. A little bit of improv, little bit of magic, little bit of mystery, and a lot of fun! When it started I think they were a little in shock, but at the end, they didn't want to leave. I can't believe my 9 year old boy wants to return. You did a great job. Doing shows for children can't be as rewarding as the evening shows, but I really appreciate it that you provide something for the children. THANKS"

George Halley

"My daughter and another young 'page' listen to the Queen onstage in the lunchtime 'Mystery of the Wizard's Wand' (left). All the kids in attendance enjoyed it very much — judging from the laughter and participation! Fun for the grownups too, but the entire family should not miss the dinner shows!"
