Dear
Dave,
We enjoyed your performance on March 1st.[2002] I think
it was the best one I had ever seen. The new marionettes
and format was a nice change. For some of the kindergarten
children it was the third time they have seen your show,
so the changes were welcome.
The new stage was great. I doubted that it would improve
the show when you told me about it . However, it made it
so much easier for the children to see while they stayed
seated on the floor. Yet you still managed to do the the
“close up and personal stuff” that the children
love.
We can’t wait to see you and your ever improving marionettes
next year.

Dear

Your
marvelous performance “Under the Big Top” was
a huge success with the Edward Coles School children and
their parents. The clever handmade marionettes and lively
music kept even our youngest children enthralled !
Marionette
productions for young children are very rare in the Chicagoland
area. Yours is far and away the best!.....

Dear
Dave,
Once again you gave a stellar performance! I can’t
decide which of your shows is my favorite. Each is unique
and enjoyable in it’s own way. I like the addition
of showing how you manipulate your ‘Kids’. Very
interesting! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon of your
special magic

Dear Mr. Herzog,
I
want to thank you and all of the puppets for the wonderful
performance you gave the children for our third family night
of the “ Travel the reading Highway” summer.
The children were mesmerized by the puppets. They talked
about them at many of our afternoon events for weeks, especially
the children noticed the puppets individually. The really
funny thing is, and I hope you will not be hurt by this,
they never mention the human puppeteer.
It’s
a toss up whether the favorites were the alien bugs or the
monster mash performers. Well the Moms also have put in
a good word for the swan. A young man asks me every time
he stops in, ‘ How did that puppet blow up that balloon?’
Enclosed
you will find a couple of pictures from your night with
us. All of duplicates of the children with the puppets after
the performance have been absconded with by the children
in the pictures
