    We did not have much expectation at first, but we were blown away by the performance within minutes it started. The stage set was nicely done, the actors and actresses’ performance were wonderful. We also really enjoyed the songs. The play was both touching and hilarious. I can’t stop smiling when Harriet kept singing “Mr Robert Martin…” with that glowing expression of affections. I would sum it up with just two words — super awesome!

    I am SO impressed with this performance. It was so much better than expected and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The comedic timing, the expressions of the actors, the voices spectacular and the sound quality was really good. I will definitely look into this theater for future performances. I realize I had a smile on my face the entire time. The facial expressions of the “farmer” were hysterical. Loved the lyrics and the idea of puppetry. I was also very impressed with the theater itself. Intimate and not a bad seat in the house.

    “I’d been wanting to see this show for years, and I’m so glad your production gave me a chance to.

    Also the actors playing Harriet Smith and Robert Marten were simply adorable, bubbly, & delightful they were hands down my favorite part of the show! “

    I was wondering how the music would be incorporated into the story. I felt the lyrics of the songs told Austin’s story beautifully even better than the original spoken words. The actors articulated the lyrics so that no story line or feeling was lost.
