Liz Blasko, Principal of West School, New Canaan, CT
I was extremely impressed with the production, both as an educator and as a parent. The "believe in yourself" message is an important one for children and parents. Zak and his fellow players communicated this message in songs that were both charming and inspiring. Thank you for creating this meaningful and entertaining experience for children.
Eileen McNamara, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, Boston Globe
The songs [in The Adventures of Zak] acknowledge the angst of adolescence, but reassure young audiences that they are neither alone nor without hope as they make their way in an increasingly frenetic world.
Brook Manning, United Way of New Canaan, CT
We try desperately to find ways to bring parents and children into the same room to discuss the worrisome issues children are faced with today. There are far too few options. The Adventures of Zak, however, is the rare exception.
Debbie Spaide, Founder, Kids Care Clubs
Once in a while, there comes along a charitable organization that really strikes a cord in the heart. Magical Music has created a forum to help families share a rare combination of musical excitement, positive life lessons, and at the same time, be part of helping pediatric charities in their own community! Magical Music for Life uses music, which is often misused today, to reach beyond the mind and into the soul with uplifting lyrics and empowering ideals.
Nancy Chuda, Founder/President of Children's Health Environmental Coalition (CHEC)
Thank you for giving each and everyone of us the opportunity to find new confidence, let go of bad behaviors, and learn most of all to appreciate the glory each one of us can bring to another. At the end of each new day, I find myself singing your Magical Music for Life... and know that I am not alone, yet very touched by the experience.
Emily Bogle, Member of the Board of Governor's of Lawrence Hospital
I give my full endorsement of The Adventures of Zak. The production was an event sponsored by our local community hospital, as a publicity and marketing event, allowing the hospital more exposure with young families in town. The show was fabulous, and exceeded our expectations in every way. The production was of "Broadway" quality, the actors, set, lighting and music. Any school, hospital or other charity involving children will love it.
Katherine Boisture, Program Associate of the Archdiocese of New York Patron's Program
I wanted to thank you again for making it possible for students from four of our Patrons Program schools to attend The Adventures of Zak. The theme of believing in oneself is so crucial for students at the inner city elementary schools with which the Patrons Program works. The Adventures of Zak reinforces the message of self-assurance and achievement that our schools want to instill.
Steve Balcanoff, Community Programs for Connecticut Children's Medical Center
On behalf of Connecticut Children's Medical Center (CCMC), the CCMC Foundation's Community Relations Committee and the Aetna Center for Families, I want to let you know how much we enjoyed The Adventures of Zak. We were impressed with the quality of the production. The costumes were wonderful, the actors and actresses were great, their voices were wonderful, and the music had audience members moving in their seats. One mom came up to me thanking us for the show saying that the issues the characters were dealing with were exactly the ones with which her kids and family were struggling. She said that Zak has now given her another way to talk about how to deal with some of those challenges.
