The Short Tree and the Bird that Could Not Sing has played across the continent, from Halifax to Seattle, from Toronto to Tucson to Mexico City.

"A moving and totally delightful experience...alternately joyful and sad, it touches anyone, at any age." - Now Magazine, Toronto

"Long on charm...considerable entertainment value." - Seattle Times

"Let's be serious here. You can't really expect a little science, tenderness, friendship and philosophical depth from a 55 minute children's play, can you? When the show is the elegantly simple Short Tree and the Bird that Could Not Sing, you can." - Gene Armstrong, Arizona Daily Star
