Comments
>"To
put it succinctly, they were fabulous! Before they even arrived, Mr.
Krebs worked closely with me to craft the most successful day. The
reaction from the kids was awe mixed with laughter. Even with such a
short amount of time, Michael and Debra were able to educate, entertain
and thoughtfully answer all their questions." PTO, Deer Path Elementary,
Lake Forest, IL
"They
have performed for our fourth grade students for 10 years in a
row and we hope to have them back again next year. They did a
fantastic job of recreating history right in our auditorium. They
taught the students so much and kept them absolutely captivated
throughout the entire performance. Our students and staff gave us
wonderful feedback; we highly recommend With Lincoln Productions." V.P.
