THE PRINCESS AND HER GARDEN 2006-2007
Camberwell Primary School (Prep & Gr. 1)
Great set and costumes. A good theme for this age group. The music and songs were entertaining and the story was easy to follow. The children were watching intently and responded to questions enthusiastically. They understood the messages in the show. The characters were fun and entertaining.
A fun lively show. It kept the children involved and made them think about friendship.
Gardenvale Primary School (Grade 1)
“It involved the children completely, they were attentive throughout….humorous, appropriate for age level…..simple repetitive dialogue…colorful…bright setting. The social skills message was delivered in a humorous and entertaining manner. I was impressed with the quality of the acting.
“A great entertaining and educational show”
“Fantastic”
Lauriston Girls’ School (Prep-Gr 1)
Fantastic content. Great message. Story presented beautifully. You have presented your message so well that it gives the students a lot to think about and strategies to put into practice.
Delightful songs. Colorful costumes and scenery. Perfectly pitched for the age-group. Good audience participation. The follow-up activities for teachers were really helpful.
Many thanks for a wonderful experience! We hope to see you again.

Wesley College (Kinder- Gr. 2)
The children were obviously engaged and enjoying the show. Imaginative and comical. This was a well executed production aimed at a suitable level for the children watching. The focus of ‘Friends can be different’ was well portrayed, the successful follow-up with the students indicated this.
Thank you!
Yeshivah Brighton Kindergarten (Kinder 3-5 yrs)
Excellent production. The message was clear in its simplicity. Very releveant to 3-5 yr olds. The children were captivated at all times. Interactive in a meaningful way. Acting and singing – amazing! “Could hear the children’s hearts beating for Bluebell.”
That was the most professional production I’ve seen for Kindergarten. The skills for being a good friend are so important for this age group. I would certainly recommend future works by Honey Apple Productions to other Early Childhood Centers.
PARENTS’ Testimonials
Thank you my children all enjoyed the play. After the show my children were engaged in a deep discussion about feeling different. My son who is overweight described how he is perceived differently by others.

We think you are so clever, artistic and creative. My daughter and I attended your productions of ‘The Princess and her Garden’ and we both enjoyed it immensely. I thought there were a lot of themes helpful to our society today and would certainly recommend your shows to other families with children, schools and groups.
Thanks for keeping the fantasies real and a bit special for the children in our lives.
