Jina and the STEM Sisters enchanted us with ingeniously presented puppetry…there is never a dull moment….. This is an intelligent and entrancing entertainment… A gift that is very evident here is that of creativity; the show looks simply gorgeous throughout… Most definitely worth seeing… entertainment that encourages you to reserve your right to think.

The artistry and craft reach the outer pinnacles of brilliance as they ascend into Sopha Lovell Smith’s creative designs of puppetry, animation and set aesthetics.
