“It is my pleasure to recommend Lona Bartlett and “The Best of Friends Puppet and Storytelling” puppet performance. I have had the pleasure of viewing her performance as a participant and observer. Her performance is understandable, engaging, and educates students in a non-traditional manner. Students observers thoroughly enjoyed the performance and learned the material presented. I found Mrs. Bartlett to be student friendly, compassionate, talented, and her love for her craft is evident. I enthusiastically recommend Mrs. Bartlett and her performance as a learning and motivational tool for students.”

“Lona's puppet show for my twins first birthday was wonderful! We had children at the party ranging from 1 year to 8 years old and they all thoroughly enjoyed it and were completely captivated for the 30 minute show. I think the adults enjoyed it just as much as the kids! Thanks for making their first birthday such a special one.”

" We at Adventist Christian Academy want to thank the Best of Friends Puppet and Storytelling for such a marvelous performance for our students. All the students, from the pre-kindergartners to the tenth graders, were mesmerized by the David And Goliath story, Harriette and the 23rd Psalm, and the skits on obedience and greed. Many people were sure that there were several people behind the curtain, and they were so surprised to find one very talented lady doing it all. Your background in teaching and storytelling shines, and we appreciate the excellence of the program you brought us."
