★★★★★Hollyn BaronMy children both loved getting to put on a Grumbling Gryphons show! Learning about Native American stories was also so fun for them.
★★★★★John Alan SegallaThe Grumbling Gryphons is a truly magical children’s theater company! Their performances are engaging, educational, and full of creativity, capturing the imaginations of kids and adults alike. The Gryphon's productions feature original songs and earthy storytelling with puppets and wearable costumes by Northwest CT artist Ellen Moon. The dedication to storytelling and audience participation makes every show a unique and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to inspire and entertain young minds! Bravo to Leslie Elias on 45 years of excellence.
★★★★★Carol H. GoodfriendLeslie and her Grumbling Gryphons are one of Cornwall's treasures. Just read how many children AND their families have benefited from her brilliant imaginative productions. May she have many more years of exciting events in Cornwall.
★★★★★Carrie GreenLeslie is amazing!! Her enthusiasm and accepting of all talents and children is phenomenal. My son (9) just completed his third year of camp and is already talking about next year. The week is full of bonding, learning and creativity. Thank you Leslie!
★★★★★ali leschMy family thoroughly enjoyed this summer's show put on by Leslie Elias and her children's theater company - what a blast. I took my 5 year old and 8 year old and they were enthralled - they loved the actors (also children) the costumes, especially the dragon, and the overall story (and humor embedded throughout!) What a gift to see how the story interwove modern and traditional storytelling in St. George and the Dragon...thank you all!
