Testimonial
''Let me say how very pleased we were with your sold-out Irish folk music concert...'' Fitton Center for the Creative Arts.

'I can't tell you how many times the teachers have said, 'Your residency was the best thing we have ever done as school.' Our state scores came back, and our drama score was above the mean. We give you much of that credit. Everyone wants you back next year.' Judy Leep, Cartmell Elementary, Carrollton, Kentucky
