"Ellouise chose some wonderful stories that fit the venue, tales of second-hand clothes and sibling rivalry, quilts and revenge, and how home-made became hand-made.
Delightful entertainment, and her sound-system fanny pack made me want one of my own!
A Rogue show in a thrift shop? Why not! We saw a first-rate show...and did some shopping, too!"

"Ellouise Schoettler entertained us with personal vinettes from her life. The story of her wedding dress tied in so well to the second hand store where she presented. Her tellings nudged memories of my own stories to surface. Ellouise's love of telling stories, her expressive telling, and humor came throught with each story and kept the audience engaged. I look forward to having Ellouise return with additional stories to share."

"For Second Hand Rose, Ellouise told stories that were warm, funny and very human. At the Saturday evening performance I enjoyed watching her adapt to her audience by adding a folktale for two young listeners and then inviting them to participate in telling the story. We were all richer for it."

I saw Ellouise's first show and thought she did a very nice thing by changing her program in consideration of the children present. She told a delightful children's story before going into her regular program. She captured her audience and kept them well entertained. It was a great afternoon and I hope she comes back next year.
