Comments

"I think one of the great strengths of this play (Out of Ur) is that there are a number of good solid parts... They're well-written, with lots of ways for a director to make it interesting and fun."  Anita Silvert, Theater Judaica, Wisconsin.

"Herschel and the Hanukkah Goblins has been a joy to stage.  The play appeals to a wide variety of ages, capturing the youngest audience members... and engaging the older children.. I highly recommend this thoroughly enjoyable holiday play."  Mira Hirsch, Artistic Director of the Jewish Theater of the South, Atlanta Georgia.

"Some productions have made us think deeply, leading to deep and meaningful discussions. Others have brought smiles to the faces of young and old alike, and have left us singing."  Rabbi Barry Block, Temple Beth-El, San Antonio.

"With book by Wendy L. Waller and score by San Antonio's Linda Kaufman, this relatively light-hearted romp through ancient Persia should be on your "must see" list... I was most impressed, however, with Kaufman's ability as lyricist."  Byrd Bonner, San Antonio Express News Columnist writing about Estherella.

"The original idea and the development of the basic concept are in the best traditions of the theater...audience members were humming the melodies as they left the theater."  Francis Elborne, Managing Director, San Antonio Little Theater, writing about Estherella.
