WHAT ARE AUDIENCES SAYING:

***** “My husband and I saw this show at the Carter-Ryan Theatre and, similar to the previous two shows we've seen there, we absolutely loved it!  It was professionally done with excellent acoustics, ambience, setting, etc.  We really enjoy the small, intimate theatre and both the natural and scripted banter that goes on between the performers.  It was interesting to hear background info about Simon & Garfunkel as well as listen to excellent renditions of their songs.  We live in Calgary but have been so impressed with Carter-Ryan Productions that we go out of our way to attend their shows,  In fact, we've told several theatre-going, Calgary friends and they've now bought tickets, as well!  Keep up the good work!” Brenda Ballantyne & Peter Ripley

***** “Another wonderful production by Carter-Ryan.We followed the Ryans in Edmonton and now are so happy that their theatrical talents, combined with Jason’s  are so evident here in the Bow Valley. What a great addition to our community.’ Allison Edwards

***** “I just watched a Hazy Shade of Winter.  The performance BLEW MY MIND!!  The harmonies, the songs and the stories all woven in to connect it all together were incredible.  Stunning performance  by Tyler and Phil! Thanks for an amazing night!” Dave (and family).

***** “I attended your latest show HAZY SHADE OF WINTER and so enjoyed the performance...loved the narrative and learning about the history of this iconic duo....not to mention the terrific harmonies of Tyler and Phillip! This is the fifth theatre presentation I have attended and they never disappoint. I must also give a shout-out to all the wonderful contributions that you make to our Bow Valley...Canmore and Banff. We are so lucky to have you here... thank-you” Shelley Blackburn
