AUDIENCE PRAISE:
”Incredibly relatable, deeply touching, heart wrenching, and hilarious all in one. Couldn’t have enjoyed watching a show more!!”
“Very relatable and great acting”
“Great show! I never laughed so hard.”
“This show takes a cancer diagnosis and challenging experience navigating the American healthcare system into art and a comedy. This show is relatable and funny/not funny to anyone who has had or had a loved one touched by cancer or other serious illness. My favorite part was the way the show integrated the use of puppets (truly amazing puppets) into the show. Thank you to the artists for creating this show and giving us a space to talk about this.”
“Quacks and Whacks was amazing! An emotional story about such a poignant topic with approachable humor to drive change in real life! Art at its finest!”
“Loved Quacks and Whacks! Resonated deeply—zooming in and out from cellular level toxicity outwardly to national absurdity—in a good way. This performance is a strong antidote and the performers are powerful agents of delivery. It should be distributed widely and urgently for exponential societal wellbeing.”
“Creative, cathartic show -- at turns wrenching and wacky-- treating a very important and under-represented topic. Fantastic puppets - really capture the cancer-characters romping through the lead character's body. Thank you Amanda Miller and your creative team!”
“A very powerful and moving play that was able to take a sensitive and relatable topic about health and our medical system and turn it into art. There was laughter, and there were tears. The writing, acting, props, nuances, it was all intentional and moving.”
“Incredible performances and storytelling. A cancer show that makes you cry and laugh as we navigate through our healthcare system. The puppetry was such a brilliant tool!”
“Loved seeing how one can laugh at cancer and the medical profession.”
“It was thoughtful, moving, and so relatable. The puppets were also incredible along with the actors who voiced them!”
“Bryan Fernandez, Katie Kopajtic and Amanda Miller were all amazing.”
“Excellent writing, excellent acting and great concept. The puppets were an effective way to show the cancer, lightening a very serious subject. Bryan Fernandez was amazing, bringing at least 8 completely different characters to life. Highly recommend!”
