Critical Praise for PNA
“[Balloonacy’s] mix of puppetry, wordless situational comedy, and Chaplin-esque physical humor is a winning combination.”
“With its gentle, bouncy humor and familiar situations, Go, Dog. Go! would make a fitting introduction to theater for even the youngest children, and has enough sly wit to satisfy older children and parents.”
“Playful and funny, Dragons Love Tacos is a treat for the whole family.”
“As Akeelah makes clear, children have potential not just for personal actualization, but also to heal a community. In her rugged, weary community, Akeelah embodies both brilliance and balm.”
