Artist reviews:  “The highlight of the show was the full moon dragon boogie. And our four-year-old expert reviewer says “I liked the gold dust the best” – which is special magic gold dust from the dancing dragon. Pico and the Golden Lagoon is an entertaining puppet show with talented artists both in puppetry and music..” — Lucy Budzynski, KIDDO Magazine

“‘time out of time’ shows that have had the children in raptures. The costuming and sets are brilliant and the themes leave the children with thought-provoking ideas. ” – Gail Mauger, Mitcham Library, South Australia
“Sally Miller and Jesse Hamilton presented a poetic, interactive, and playful world through puppetry, live music, and storytelling. Seamlessly integrating a range of ecological and environmental issues they managed to keep the children enthralled and the parents and grandparents delighted.” – Peta Aubin, Arts and Cultural Facilitator, South Australia.
