"The Oregon Shadow Theatre is one of the highlights of the Summer Reading program at the Bellevue Regional Library. I can't imagine a summer program without them and our public would be outraged if they were not a prominent part of our line-up. This is because Deb Chase and Mick Doherty are consummate performers. They know their audience, the shows are fresh, funny and thoughtful, the execution is flawless and the music fabulous - and live! They have a plethora of programs suited to every library and taste. What we especially appreciate about their shows is their direct link to literature and reading. As an aside, many of our patrons follow the Oregon Shadow Theatre around to every production we have in the King County Library System.

This spring we also took the Oregon Shadow Theatre to several of our schools as part of our Summer Reading promotion. The schools loved the shows and hope we will return again next year for the same kind of promotion!"

Cecilia P. McGowan
Manager, Children's Department
Bellevue Regional Library
