PRESS:
“It is tiny, enchanting and exquisite, like a delicious handcrafted chocolate truffle in a gleaming box.”
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MON AMI is a show for lovers, for puppet lovers, for accordion lovers and for those who love the idea of travel but not the exertion of actual travel. Transport yourself to Paree, er, Paris, with Alex and Olmsted and enjoy the tiniest, darlingest homage to classical puppetry you’re likely to see without leaving Baltimore.”
