    1. We enjoyed the production immensely! The talent is awesome!! The cast was so creative in interpreting the story to us through hand gestures, voice and movements together. We have really enjoyed the productions we have seen at the Chance Theater. We plan to attend many more!!

    2. My son and I enjoyed the both the intimate theater experience and the production. It was our first time to the Theater, though not our last. Ryan, my son is taking Theater at SCC. The actors had my son chuckling which is not easy to do.

      thanks,

    3. Lyrical language and wonderful spooky story to start, then hold on for the second half. Terrific movement, imagery, and puppetry, and the high energy storytelling hit all the right notes!
