Testimonials

"I have always wanted to attend but never had the opportunity or the knowledge of when they were. I took five other people with me and we had an absolute blast. I love how the performers include the audience and how they are always in character. I shall keep my 'dragon tear' forever, as I told the dude who gave it to me! The only complaint I have is that it should be waaaay more often. Thanks for the fun :D" -- Jessica (Omaha, NE)
