The New York Post

"The score, already available on the troupe’s debut CD, is tuneful enough to stand on its own, and the performers inhabit their characters with endless enthusiasm."

The New York Times

"This wily group of recent Carnegie-Mellon University graduates tells folksy tales with their singing, puppets and shadow screens, employing common items like flashlights, crates and burlap sacks while conjuring dozens of characters. Their versatility is delightful to watch. Their hard work seems effortless."

The New York Times

"While many stage artists in their twenties trade in snark, cynicism and obscure pop-culture references, these lads win you over with simplicity, creativity and honest emotion. They shoot for the moon and reach it."
