What Other People Say About Us
“ This show is brilliant and hilarious! I went with my partner and our 8-year-old, and we all loved it. It gave us language and concepts that have supported us through some tricky emotional moments with our kiddo and selves! You should definitely get tickets for yourself and the kids in your life. Laugh! Cry! Be entertained together! Live Theater baby! ” - Kristen Palmer, Playwright and Mom
“Please Ship This Wet Gift is full of unabashed joy. This gifted physical performer charms and surprises her audience, as she helps us recognize ourselves and embrace each other. It may be a show about difficult feelings, but our audience sure left happy! ” - Amanda Huotari, Executive Artistic Director, Celebration Barn Theater
“I wholeheartedly recommend Please Ship This Wet Gift for kids & their families, especially those who struggle with social-emotional learning. For our 6 year old who is autistic, this special show made his first experience seeing live theater a success! This type of clowning is not like big-top circus clowning; the performer builds careful consent and connection with the audience. The show makes explicit the events, thoughts, and behaviors that surround big feelings, while staying very funny and deeply entertaining!”
- G.F., Brooklyn Parent and Social Worker
“This phenomenal show was able to kickstart spontaneity and awesome participation in children who typically say little, feel uncomfortable with others, and struggle to identify emotions. The way it touched us as an audience could be a corrective experience for all kids who have been affected by the Covid Pandemic. While ALL the children found joy and delight in the show, it was memorable for its unique capacity to draw socially challenged kids into the communal space, and to let themselves be seen!”
- Beth Muller, Child Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Martha’s Vineyard Community Services“Please Ship This Wet Gift is profoundly delightful. It engages and entertains young audiences, while communicating a real respect for their hopes and fears. Everyone who sees it feels equal parts tickled and taken care of...a gem of a show.”
- Rebecca Wright, Artistic Director, Applied Mechanics“You know how a really good laugh can feel like a giant hug that says 'Everything is going to be ok' ? That’s what this show feels like. I would have brought more people if I knew how soul satisfying it was going to be.”
- Casey Turner, Audience Member, 21 years old
Praise for Help Save the Monkey!
“ Wildly entertaining...Their expertise and immense talent were obvious throughout every minute of their performance.”
- The Daily Campus, University of Connecticut“A whimsical adventure that bridges generations and keeps the whole audience engaged and laughing throughout...The artists never felt the need to “talk down” to their audience...Through deft puppetry, great physicality, exciting set-pieces, and imaginative scene transitions, they made the entire performance hum with a terrific crispness.” - Sean Barney, Managing Editor, Hulafrog Cambridge, MA
Praise for Close to Decline
“A brave and dazzling young talent.” - Moises Kaufman,Tectonic Theater Project
“Technically clever & refreshingly small... In our over-saturated mediascape, Close to Decline is a meditative and intimate piece of catharsis. Never didactic, it’s an honest artistic effort to process experience that is both genuine and inviting.” - nytheatre.com
“An exciting performer who has no trouble keeping the audience engaged.” - Show Business Weekly
"Marta has never failed to impress me with her beautiful, personal, meticulous work." - Martin P. Robinson, Performer of Telly Monster & Snuffleupagus, Sesame Street
"In Marta Mozelle's piece Close to Decline, we are inside her heart and inside her mind at the same time. What is tragic is also hilarious and what is shallow is deep. What is alive is an object and objectivity itself is an emotion. Marta Mozelle is a magician of space time." - Lee Breuer & Maude Mitchell, Mabou Mines
