Audience Reactions to Jenny Wiley Theatre's tour of Polly Princess and the Penniless Fry Cook:

 

2006 - Polly Princess. The Play was Excellent! My kindergartners sat through the entire performance from 8:30 to 9:45. For this to happen at the beginning of the school year is one big applause to you. Rhonda Smith - Oakview Elementary, Ashland, KY

2006 - Polly Princess. Really enjoyed the production. The kids seemed to really pay attention. Jolean Goble - Allen Elementary, Allen, KY

2006 - Polly Princess. I thought it was a wonderful play! It had a wonderful message. Tammy Meade - Betsy Layne Elementary, Betsy Layne, KY

2006 - Polly Princess. It was my favorite show yet! Kids Love it! Thanks for coming and giving our students this opportunity. It was so much fun for me as a teacher! Teacher - Corbin Independent School District

 

Here's what the critics have to say about our shows:

From BlogCritics Magazine:  (12/10/07)  ..."the switch of setting from ancient Athens to modern-day Athena High... [in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream] ...enhances the magic of the piece and, most importantly, makes it accessible to those who may not have a familiarity with the Bard's works."

From the New York Daily News:  (4/17/05)  "The magic that makes "Polly Princess" so enticing for kids (as well as their parents) resides in its intelligent, irreverent writing, which doesn't pander to prepubescent audience members."

From BroadwayWorld.com:  (5/11/05)  "There is true magic in this humble Brooklyn playhouse... Polly Princess is better than most "family" theatre on Broadway, and...it is much more realistically priced for families, too. Skip the expensive Disney musicals and head out to Brooklyn. Spectacle shows can’t beat good writing with a good heart." 
 
From Dry2olives.com: (5/5/05) "Under normal circumstances the likelihood of me having a great time at a children's musical is about as high as the likelihood of finding the cast album of Avenue Q in Stephen Schwartz's iPod, but Polly Princess and the Penniless Fry Cook, is so darn funny you can have a ball even without the little darlings around. It's a little like watching an old Sid Caesar/Imogene Coca sketch from Your Show of Shows ."
