Testimonials
Her mastery of her art was evident in her ability to make the puppets come to life for the students! (Our) students were drawn into the creative performance pieces as they watched, listened, and imagined! Loved having the opportunity to experience Hua Hua's performance! (The music and dance piece of the performance was beautiful!)
