Adults love the Patchwork Players

I want to thank the both of you for adding so much to the overall success of this years Fall Fest. You both are very talented and truly fun and entertaining. I believe that our folklore is an important part of our cultural identity and have great respect for the power of storytelling. I hope that you take part in more events in the future. Tusen takk.

I spent my 39th birthday at a Renaissance Faire where I saw The Patchwork Players. Their show was fun, funny and very entertaining. I even got called up on stage as the Birthday King. I would recommend them for birthday parties no matter how old you are.

I can't thank you enough for your performance at Tri-City Medical Center...Your message was relevant and enjoyed by all in attendance. As you know, Service Excellence is a very important concept to all of us here at TCMC. I think you inflamed the imaginations of the new employees who saw you perform and 'gently teach' concepts that are at the very heart of who we are as an organization. I look forward to seeing your next performance.

Patti and James are artists of laughter. Allow them to tickle your funny bone.

I learned we are never too old to enjoy hearing a story, and especially enjoyed the part about putting new up-to-date spin on fairy tales, such as the little Red Riding Hood story! We had a great workshop with you!

Patti and James gave a stimulating program on acting for our teen readers' group. The kids were enthralled and willingly participated in the acting exercises.

Everyone had a great time. My highlight was the little girls' reactions when you told them to put on the blue warts. . . . Hilariouis!

The audience knows very well the tales you tell, your vibrant performance brings them to life.

Kids love the Patchwork Players, too!

The Patchwork Players tell the most amazing stories I have ever heared. I liked when I played Rapunzel.

People should have the Patchwork Players come to their school so kids could be happy.
Monica, grade 3

My favorite story was Little Red Riding Hood because the girl knew karate.
Yadira, grade 5

Two weeks after they heard The Patchwork Players at a birthday party, the four year old twins are STILL talking about the stories! You two did an amazing job.
Suzanne, Parent

If you love the sound of your child's laughter, and the light of creativity and joy in your child's eyes when you see him or her fully engaged- you've got to see your child have a Patchwork Players experience! There is nothing in the world like seeing the light in a childís eyes, as they become a part of the world the Patchwork Players' stories generate.
