Owner/Director, All Kids First
I cannot speak highly enough about the Catskill Puppet Theatre. They are true professionals and amazing performers. The entire school, students and staff, were on the edge of their seats during and after the show. I especially love how they demonstrate how the whole show works afterwards. I hope we can bring them back to Valley View in the near future for another show!
