“Extraordinary”
"Was deserving based on realized ambitiousness (puppets,
masks, choreography, acting, costumes, set, special
touches like a clock tower with changing clockface, including
eyes that appear and look left or right on occasion before
vanishing, done with animation projection, other projections
like a fluttering of envelopes through the theater space."

"She brings a new and slightly more sophisticated
life to
Lamb Chop with her extraordinary showmanship and charm. She
won all of our hearts!"
"Mallory was basically Lamb Chop's sister, so the connection
is strong. That in itself is an accomplishment."

to dramatize the struggle between natural environments and man's intrusion."
