"San Antonio school loved your performace. Students are
still mimicing (or trying to anyway) your moves. They rave about
the animals in your stories and how free and real you make them
during the performance. The stories were age-appropiate and
engaging to the audience. Teachers appreciated the interactive
aspect of the performance where students were drawn in and allowed
to become the characters. (We) look forward to enjoying more
shows in the future."
-- Nan Davis, San Antonio School, Ojai,

"We thoroughly enjoyed Elaine Muray's program at our school...they (the performances) were both spot on for interest, length and curriculum. The students were fascinated with her artful use of simple props and variety of characters. We definitely plan to have Elaine back next year for more performances."
-- Catherine Kingsbury, St. Rose School, Paso Robles, CA
