Reviews for the play:

Tasman District School, Nubeena, TAS

"Hi Tony, Thanks for sending these (lesson plans) to me as we'll use them for follow up activities. The performance was great. The children and staff really enjoyed it and you could see that the variety of entertainment really engaged the children and they were all eager to participate and interact with the excellent performers, Zoe and Michael."

Woodburn Public School, Woodburn, NSW

"A very good performance that was well received by both staff and students. It is good for our students to be exposed to singing, dancing, puppets and the variety of props... A wonderful experience... a great release of endorphins. The kids are looking forward to next year"

Tohby Riddle, Author & illustrator of "Nobody Owns the Moon"

“I enjoyed it! Congratulations to you and your actors. I thought the actors were really good - funny and lively and kid-friendly - and I was impressed with your various solutions for staging: loved the dancing bear, the lights, the dress-circle seating for Humphrey and Clive during the 'play', and the factory scene. I also appreciated that you picked up on things like the Latin phrase and Walt Whitman's poetry - nice touches.” Tohby Riddle, Author & illustrator, “Nobody Owns the Moon”.

St James Catholic School, Yamba, NSW

"An excellent show that was enjoyed by ALL students and adults. The play captured the moral of the story very well and the variety of props and characters added to the performance. The performers were excellent and were enthusiastic and highly capable; interacted wonderfully with the students and were very entertaining. Yet again this was a wonderful performance by 'Tony Bones'. Good value for Monday, great show and well done!"

Mary Geracitano, Public Show, NSW

"Hi There, I was fortunate enough to stumble across a write-up on Kidspot.com.au about the above production and took my three children aged 5 - 9 yo on Wednesday. To ensure they knew the storyline, I borrowed the book from our local library and they have read it (several times over). As a lover of live theatre since high school I thought it would be a nice introduction to live theatre for my children - and I was not disappointed! All three, but especially my 5 yo son were totally and utterly enthralled and haven't stopped speaking about the show. I am sure it has been the highlight of the school holidays for them.
My son was in stitches of laughter throughout the performance and all three cannot wait to go to another show. Given their 150% enjoyment of the show I felt it fitting to drop a note to encourage you to keep up with these wonderful shows and to pass on my gratitude.Your company, along with Michael and Naomi (Clive & Humphrey) have ignited a new area of thought in my children and I am grateful.
Again, many thanks, and keep up the wonderful work."
