year, your mild-mannered dragon puppet has captured the hearts of
all my students."

"Groark is so life-like that he
really steals the show!"

Ron Jarret, principal

He actually comes alive!"

Nancy Mayeda
"You have an amazing ability to
ensnare all of your audiences, young and old alike. I especially
enjoyed hearing you praised by the folks who used to think that
storytelling and puppetry were 'just for kids'."

Mary Morgan Smith Three
Rivers Storytelling Festival, Pittsburgh, PA
"Randel is the only storyteller-puppeteer
we have seen who is not only exquisitely expert at his craft, but
for whom the story is always more important and more primary than
the puppet. It is a delight to watch him work and gradually forget
the medium as, through the skill of his craft, the story takes over."

Donald Davis (Storyteller)
and Merle Smith Davis, North Carolina
"I wasn't all that excited about
a ventriloquist show...But now I'm in love with the show after seeing
it - it kindles interest in fantasy, drama, books, expands one's
imagination and really is pure fun with endless possibilities. Totally
professional and the kids love Groark the dragon."

Kathy Maio, Director,
Children's Services, Pleasanton Public Library, Pleasanton, CA
"You were great and so was Groark.
One of your most delightful traits is your ability to talk directly
to and with children, treating them with respect and remembering
every name! You are -- without a doubt -- a charming performer and
guest artist. Thank you, too, for making your show fit our needs!'"

Lynne Goodwin Director,
The Treehouse Children's Museum, Ogden, UT
"GREAT show! Kids loved it, teachers
loved it, principals loved it! It is lively and fast paced."

Frank Frezee, Bennett

on stage). People quickly relate to this loveable yet mischievous
dragon as he stumbles through the mishaps of life. Randel McGee
is always close by his side to point him in the right direction
when he goes off course.

and respect.
