Selecting entertainment for a summer camp that serves 2 year olds through jr. high can be very tricky. Finding appropriate material for all the age groups that keeps them engaged and as well as entertained is especially challenging. Christine was fantastic at tailoring her performance to each age group. The kid had a wonderful time and couldn't stop talking about the puppets. It was well paced and included some great lessons for the kids as well. We will be booking Christine in the future and I recommend other programs do too.

Christine was wonderful! She understood right away what we needed for this event and was thoughtful and diligent in her preparations (especially considering the short notice we gave her). Highest recommendation!

Christina was on time, was prepared, looked over the audience to see who she would be talking to and her dialogue with her friends went on without a hitch. We would have her back again anytime.

Christine's skills as a ventriloquist are exceptional! Yet she has an even greater talent; her ability to improvise comedic bits and scenes off the cuff. She involves the audience, incorporates their personalities, and keeps us smiling, thinking, and laughing the entire time! She is amazingly talented!

I hired Ms. Barger to do two assemblies at our school. She was able to capture the attention all the students ages 5-10. She handled two assemblies of 300 students each perfectly and professionally. She was open to suggestions about talking points and had the students laughing and learning. It was a great show and the students and staff really enjoyed not only the show but also working with Ms. Barger. It is without any reservation that I recommend Ms. Barger.
