"I don't think I have ever been so touched by [a performance] in a great number of years. The actors and their overwhelming talents were awe-inspiring. The set design and lighting were outstanding and so well though out. The most endearing and wonderful thing about this production is that all of this brilliance and dedication was directed at our children! For that, I am deeply grateful to the Omaha Theater Company."
