'Para inspirar a los niños en el teatro se requiere una habilidad narrativa aún mayor que la que podría percibir o incluso disfrutar el público adulto, entrar en la mente de los mayores críticos de la naturaleza y, con frecuencia, el mayor partidario cuando se involucra adecuadamente, es de suma importancia. Hacer que los niños se preocupen por el mundo que los rodea es significativo, dejar que su imaginación desatada florezca de una manera que los vea apreciar el teatro como parte de la solución, ese es el mayor de los regalos que un actor o animador puede otorgar'.
