Foodplay Educational Theater: A parent from Ichabod Crane School in New York called this a.m. She raved about your shows there, and passed on that the principal said that in his 30 years in the field, you handled the audience better than anyone else he's ever worked with. Wow! Congratulations!

- Amy Martyn, Foodplay Productions

Ben's 6th Birthday Party: Barbara taught clowning at my son's party. She helped me plan for it--ordering clown noses and peacock feathers--and she executed the event beautifully. All ten clowns had a silly, happy time. I was grateful for Barbara's professionalism, talent, and gift with children.
