'Whether it's a Christmas show or summer adventure, my girls and I really love these productions and feel very lucky to have these gentle yet magical events turn up on our doorstep at the local library! Mimi and Mark are truly talented performers and their plays are small but mighty - intimate, interactive and inclusive performances that enchant and inspire both children and grownups. The shows get their learning points and positive messages across in a way that never feels crowbarred or false, and all this is done in tiny spaces while somehow elegantly managing friendly crowd control of the many enthusiastic children! What we love best, though, is their solid and expert theatricality - making a teapot or feather duster come alive, conjuring a motorbike ride with a scarf and a couple of chairs, or teasing the children with a classic "it's behind you" moment - and this is what looks and feels so simple but must in reality be honed by years of experience. We really appreciate Boo to a Goose and all the funding that makes it possible for theatre opportunities like this to come to us locally at such an affordable price... thank you for all the fun!'

Teacher Feedback 2021:
‘The children found this highly entertaining - it is very rare (if ever) that they’ve been exposed to live theatre - thank you.’
Rebecca Francis, Ashleigh C of E Primary, Barnstaple, 5.11.21

'So perfect for this age group. I love the way that nothing phases you when small children do what small children do! Lovely songs again.'
J. Sparkes, All Saints Primary, Plymouth, 29.11.21

'Lovely focus on manners. Great alliterative names and rhyming throughout. Great idea to have physical part in middle to get wriggles out and engage.'
N. Stringer, Ilfracombe Primary 18.1.22

'Children loved it. They remembered you from last time and were excited before we came in. The performance was colourful, lively and totally engaged the children.'
Wendy Densham, Stoke Canon Primary, Exeter 19.11.21

‘A great show. Thank you so much for visiting us again. The children clearly loved it.’
Bratton Fleming Primary School, 30.11.21

‘... you got the perfect mix of both calmer moments and lively moments, maintaining the children's
focus and engagement the whole way through. That is the first time most of these children would have sat still for a longer period, so you did a great job to keep them so engaged!

Even the way you interacted and acknowledged our high needs children was delightful and greatly appreciated. You were not distracted by the wriggles and interruptions, and continued to engage with them from outside the hall. They were extremely excited, so thank you. We would certainly love to have you return next year.’
Lola Curtis, Foundation Stage Class Teacher, Stoke Hill Infant and Nursery School

‘I just wanted to send you a HUGE THANK YOU for show you delivered to our children this morning. The experience which you brought to these children was beautiful to observe. They managed the length of time sitting and listening because of how you varied the senses which they used...’

The families were overwhelmed at the quality of the books... spot on for these families many of whom may not even have a hard backed book in their homes. I can not thank you enough, it brought tears to my eyes knowing these families have been given such a wonderful gift.’
Sarah Butler, Haytor View Community Primary School

Parents/children/other comments:
I wanted to thank Boo To A Goose Theatre for providing such a wonderful Christmas experience for our visitors during Christmas at The Palace 2017. I needed to find a high quality Father Christmas for our event, as our visitors have extremely high expectations. All expectations were exceeded by Boo To A Goose Theatre and we were delighted to discover that we had booked the best Father and Mother Christmas anyone could ever imagine – totally professional, yet caring and kind and really fabulous with every child and all their families. We will definitely book again!
Helen Sergeant, The Bishop’s Palace, Wells, 2017

Parents:
I can honestly say it was the best experience we have had. I loved the fact that they found out and used their names and spoke directly to them making them feel extremely special.

Hands down the best Father Christmas experience ever. So magical and brilliant with our baby. Thank you!

Whilst we fully expected to be turned away, Mother and Father Christmas managed to find a few minutes for us. Your kindness and compassion completely made our day. Many thanks - true Christmas spirit!

You two are amazing. She was soooo giddy with excitement once we'd left. Thank you for the magic. x

We have seen many ‘Father Christmas‘ over the years (we have 8 children, eldest is 29) in all kinds of places; the zoo, shopping centres, East Somerset railway, Lakeside Country Park, Glastonbury Abbey, Wookey Hole etc and I have to say that this is the best we have ever seen.
