Here Are A Few Comments From Teachers Who Have Had Ross Browning's “Puppetease” Come To Their School In The Recent Past…

 

All of these testimonials were hand written or typed personally to me, signed by the person and are in my files; available for you to see if you'd like. Since I've been performing for so many years, many of these good people may have since retired, moved or changed schools or positions. However, when they wrote their thoughts down, they were in the said position at the school named here. (It's almost impossible to keep track of all you folks!)

“One of the best shows I have seen in over 30 years of teaching” - Cardiff Primary School

“My thanks to you for a wonderful performance on the International Day of People with a Disability. There is no doubt that the students had a terrific time. The looks on their faces were priceless and the noise they made quite deafening. The great music, colors and non stop action always get their attention and keep it for longer than usual. The staff too always enjoy the performance. It brings out the kid in them....... One of our classes made some of your "paper plate" puppets and they looked terrific. They did a wonderful display for us, so bright and colorful.

The Teacher's Support Manual is a great resource and I shall remind everyone about it again next year.” - Julie Hook Holroyd School 2002
