Critic and Audience Reviews
-Matthew J. Palm, Orlando SentinelThe park amphitheater is perfectly suited to evoke the play’s dreamlike quality, aided mightily by Denise R. Warner’s flowing costumes and Bert Scott’s enchanting scenic design — a design that works in tandem with Philip Lupo’s delicately cascading lighting.
-Seth Kubersky, Orlando Weekly...there's genuine magic in this fairy tale.
