Philip Krieger writes: 3/26/11
"Just wanted to thank you for sharing your vibrant work with us last evening at Big Blue Marble Bookstore here in Mt. Airy. The content, the narrative, and the style provided a most satisfying meal for the heart and mind. These monthly gatherings are exceptional and well looked forward to - always full of good energy. Thank you for adding to that energy. Thank you, as well, for your attentive appreciation during the open readings. "

"Dane Kuttler was featured at "Zippy's." I am thoroughly taken with her stage presence, her voice an' demeanor, her grooming & appearance, delivery, composition, content & invitation to audience participation, her timing, her stance & gestures, her merchandise. She did not go too long or too briefly. She brought easy laughter, & a touch of teariness as well. DANE KUTTLER She's well worth remembering, seeing & hearing."
