F E A T U R E D R E V I E W S
“Stringed puppets and fine music tell a wondrous story of a small boy’s friendship with a magical balloon. Adults and children alike will enjoy this piece for its simple beauty and playful innocence.” Everything Theatre
"It's remarkable how a piece of wood, artfully manipulated, can bring tears to the eye." The Stage
"Using forced perspective, multi-sized puppets, elaborate staging (and a really sweet dog), String Theatre brought a cinematic quality to their letterbox sized stage that had the adults in the audience entranced."
