"Better than Excellent! My whole family could not get enough of them by end of the day. The ambition and passion expressed through body language, both mentally and spiritually were explosive at best! You won't know what you've missed until you've seen them on the stage."
"I met Theron Parker in the Artist salons in Seattle, where he performed to flabbergasted crowds 5-10 minute short pieces. His sincerity and focus immediately lock your attention in on what he has to communicate, pulling concepts from thin air and showing a complicated shape from multiple perspectives. He is one of the most amazing artists I can think of. I am truly happy to know he is keeping up on the work that he developed in those days when I first knew him. I trust that what started in the underground in seattle is now breaking ground in the worldwide lands."
"Felt like 15 mins had gone by but it was an hour of laughter!"
Susan Prail
Business Manager ADARA Conference 2007
