WOWWWW! Went to the Ugly Duckling show last night - BLOWN AWAY by the creativity and talent of your group! The meaningful storyline and perfectly timed music choices made it extremely moving. We were on the edge of our seats the whole time. To see a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes was soooo interesting - love that you guys went the extra mile to do so. Showed how much you truly care about your audience and are so passionate about what you do. We were all amazed and will never forget it! Can’t wait for the next story in our area. THANK YOU for bringing stories to life! (We were in tears)

Thank you for such a good day yesterday. Having your show on our stage has made us all so very hopeful that we can bring art back to our small chunk of the world. Having your easy going and friendly cast was so refreshing after all of the ridiculousness we all endured over the past two years.
