“Jackie and "Papa" Wright's welcoming enthusiasm is absorbed by their audiences before their programs even begin.” Diann Joy Bank - St. Louis Storyteller & Author

“Performances and activities such as yours can really make the difference in the life of a child; and for our hospitalized kids, it does even more. It takes them from the hospital atmosphere to the ‘being a kid’ atmosphere for even just a few moments.” St. Louis Children’s Hospital

“Thank you for being part of Meet Another Culture at the Saint Louis Art Museum. What a wonder performance! It was educational, entertaining, and fun. From the evaluations filled out by the participants, they loved your storytelling, percussions, and interaction with you.” Saint Louis Art Museum

“Thank you so much for, once again, “wowing” our young audience with your fantastic performance. Our parents loved the way you included the kids with the percussion fun and during the puppet play as the kids became part of the performance by blowing puppet noses, giving hugs, and talking to the puppets.” Edwardsville, IL Public Library

“Our families enjoyed the puppet show and we were so pleased to see parents and children interacting with puppets after the show. Thanks for all you do entertaining and educating children and families about creativity and puppetry.” Parents As Teachers-Wentzville, MO

“You came a long way and gave a lot when you got here. Thank you for the fun and life giving puppet program. The kids all seemed to really enjoy themselves, even the oldest ones; which is sometimes tricky business to pull off.” Kansas City, MO Public Library

“The percussion program was a wonderful musical and positive self-esteem experience for the students at Annie Malone Children’s Home. Glen presented the information to the group in a very innovative, exciting manner that seemed to boost the students’ attention span. His ability to motivate the students assisted in their remembering at least twenty different musical instruments by name. The hands-on participation by the group was ideal for enhancing the students’ self- concept. Hats off to Mr. Wright and his fabulous percussion program.” The Annie Malone Children’s Home-St. Louis, MO

“On behalf of the Brain Tumor Support Group staff, patients, and families, we would like to say thank you for your wonderful performance at our Parents’ Night Out event.

They are still talking about how much they enjoyed your performance.” St. Louis Children’s Hospital
