"Good play for junior high students. Quirky characters for them to work with. Easy set and tech requirements."
By Kaitlyn Gruetzner - Sutherland Secondary School
"This play is so much fun. My actors loved performing because the characters were so likable and the script flows well. I thought Mrs. Buffington would steal the show but it turned out to be Tabby that did. Audience loved the play also."
By Pam Evitts - Director - High School
