We had a high school graduation party and use Puppet and Things. Mark did an awesome job and the adults and teens loved his acts. He got everyone interacting and it was the hit of the evening. We totally recommend him.

Mark is very professional (great communication, showed up on time as promised, was organized). His show was great for the ages we had at our event (3yrs-7yrs). I would definitely recommend Puppets and Things on Strings.
