Testimonials

  • "The puppet play King Matt the First, brought to life by Brian Hull and Mary Tanner was a tremendous gift to our middle school and high school students. It was clear that Brian and Mary have devoted themselves to the craft of puppetry, and they brought tremendous vitality and artistry to the performance."

    Laura Radefeld, Administrator
    Green Meadow Waldorf School

  • “Kaytek the Wizard was just lovely!!! Go see Brian and Mary do their magic!!! You’ll be so glad you did.”

    Doug Trapp
    Actor

  • "Whenever the spirited creative ingenuity of Janusz Korczak rules the stage together with the theater arts of Brian Hull and Mary Tanner, surely all the world's children may rejoice!"

    Nancy Mellon
    Counselor, Author

  • "Brian and Mary brought the 100 year old story of King Matt to life for our audience of people aged 8 to 80, and with it, they introduced us to Janusz Korczak through his ideas, words and imagery. We were all enchanted and deeply moved.”
