Here is a small selection of what The Puppet Place audience members have said:
- “Many thanks for another excellent performance at the Grayslake Library. Your Magic Onion puppet show perfectly fit our “Read and Live Happily Ever After” theme for Children's Book Week and was certainly enjoyed by all who attended. It's always wonderful to see the parents as interested as the children are during a program and I heard plenty of adults laughing as loud as the children. Thank you again for sharing your enormous talents with us and I can truly say that none of us will look at broccoli in quite the same way again.”

Grayslake Area Public Library, Grayslake, IL - “Thank you for the Peter Rabbit puppet show and puppet workshops that you conducted at the zoo on November 17. The participants and staff had a wonderful time! Puppet shows are a viable method to reach younger zoo audiences with positive environmentally and socially related messages. We look forward to the possibility of working with you again in the future.”

The Drake Hotel, Chicago, IL - “Your puppet-making workshop was a great addition to the opening weekend of the exhibition, Here We Are Again: Kukla, Fran and Ollie. Thank you for leading the workshop and sharing your love of puppets with the children (and adults.) Everyone enjoyed the class and I delighted in watching them create their new friends.”

Chicago Historical Society, Chicago, IL - “The Magic Onion was a delight. You have a wonderful talent of ‘reading’ the audience even though they cannot see you or you them during the performance. Thanks for a fun-filled afternoon. I would be very happy to recommend you to anyone wanting to book a puppet program.”
