Testimonial from Parent Association President of Warren Walker School for ACC’s Circus Hilarious
Animal Cracker Conspiracy put on a wonderful show for our students who range in age from Pre-Kindergarten up to the 5th grade. All of the students were engaged in the energetic, funny and thoughtful performance. Not only was the story line clear and easy to understand, which is essential for the younger children, but there was a lesson taught that the older students understood. Bridget Rountree’s performance was excellent and the kids loved her. She conveyed her character very well. She was funny, sensitive and clearly loves her craft. Iain Gunn was the puppeteer and masterfully handled many characters seamlessly. The shadow puppetry was also a highlight of the show, and Iain thoughtfully designed a screen for the shadow puppets just for our outdoor amphitheatre. Thank you! The WWPA felt that our money was well spent and the students enjoyed the show. We would highly recommend Animal Cracker Conspiracy for schools, clubs, fairs and any other venue requiring an energetic, professional and fun performance!
