Dear Carter,
Having just completed a two-day run of Lazer Christmas, I can wholeheartedly say that it is the big hit of this season's Kidstage Series. Through four (count 'em) sold-out shows, you held the audience enthralled. The juggling and magic were great, the light show was stunning, and you had just the right amount of holiday flavor-enough to be jolly, without being heavy-handed.
As you know, we immediately booked you back for next year's brand new weekend series for families. I have absolutely no doubt that you'll pack them in and send them home cheering all over again.
In summary, I can only say what so many of the children (and teachers)
leaving our theatre said to us: "Lazer Christmas is awesome!"
All best,

Dear Maia :
Now that I have a moments peace, I am writing this letter to tell you my thoughts on the performances of Lazer Vaudeville.
The first words that come to mind are-"Wow…how do they do that".
Needless to say, Lazer Vaudeville was our most popular show of the Festival, the first six shows selling out in under one hour !!
Not only are they excellent performers, giving their all to every audience they are also friendly, courteous and fun people to deal with. They worked under conditions which were not perfect-but they made the shows perfect. The "oohs and ahhs" of the audience and spontaneous applause hopefully made up for the intolerable heat and the not black enough blackout tent.
We would certainly highly recommend Lazer Vaudeville to any presenter
and we are looking forward to having them back in Prince George again-hopefully
for our Tenth Anniversary Festival when we bring back the best performances
over the past nine years. Make a note of that-Canada in 1997 !!
Sincerely,
CANADIAN NORTHERN CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL

Dear Carter, Cindy, and Randy,
Thank you for a truly wonderful day. We were without any doubt blessed by your stop here in Newport, Oregon. Our operations crew enjoyed working with you, the Kid Konnection participants were absolutely thrilled to have the benefit of your expertise, and the audience for the evening performance was impressed to no end.
As a performance space we have had experiences with a wide range of performers, not all are always pleasant and professional in dealing with our operations staff. They give you an unqualified thumbs up and welcome a return engagement.
The most gratifying aspect of working with children is seeing their unbounded enthusiasm and joy in doing something, and doing it well. The workshop you provided for our Kid Konnection Program was by far one of the best. It became a catalyst for many students who had previously not ventured into other skill areas to want to try new and different things, something very risky for this particular group of youngsters. The Kid Konnection Program wants you back!
From the evening audience, the answer to, "would you like to see them again," has been a unanimous and enthusiastic, Yes, Yes, Yes! The people have spoken. We hope to talk to you about a return engagement in the future.
Hello to Alfonzo and Roxie!
Again Thank You!
All our best

Dear Carter
I want to thank you again for bringing your exciting show to Harrisburg
for our Kidsfest series. From start to finish, "Lazer Vaudeville"
was a wonderful show. Your blend of old time vaudeville with contemporary
music and space age visual effects was outstanding. Adults and children
alike were totally captivated by your zany humor and your incredible and
tireless performance. Of course, your involvement with the audience created
a special bond and an extra element of surprise.
Perhaps one day we will be able to bring you back to Harrisburg. It was
a pleasure working with you and Bill Donati.
Best Regards,
Francine Feinerman

Dear Carter,
What a pleasure it was to have you and Lazer Vaudeville return to Canton for the second year for our Parents Weekend. As you well know, there was 'standing room' only in our theatre for both shows!
It's now November, and the students and faculty are still talking about the show and we are already making plans for your return for the fall of 1991! It has always been a struggle to find a family oriented show that will capture the attention of all ages. For teens to toddlers, to parents, college students and grandparents…Lazer Vaudeville is The perfect show!
It's always a pleasure to have Lazer Vaudeville here, your professionalism
and personality are an Activities Director's dream come true. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ms. Robbie I. Gittings
Director of Student Activities / Student Union
