"Jerry
Luther's (Dancing Duckman) excitement and high energy while
performing is refreshing and contagious. He and his lovable
dancing ducks found themselves, with a few other puppeteers,
as a highlight clip during that evening's local television
news. Jerry Luther is the Pied Piper of puppetry."

K. Stephens, PNW Regional Director, Puppeteers of America

"You were
a great hit last year! We have had lots of positive
comments over the past year about "how great the
"duck man ' was!" Now that families are looking
forward to our next festival, some are asking, "Is
the Duck Man coming back?" I hope you are able to
join us once again!"

"Thank
you to both of you for attending our concert last night
and doctoring our ducks. The kids had a great time but their
biggest thrill was your attendance. You have been such a
blessing to us. Again, thank you for your help (street performing

"Jerry
Luther delighted San Francisco Bay Area crowds with his
creative act, mesmorizing adults and children alike. Whether
part of a parade or moving around in crowded parks, he
captivates individuals with his dancing ducks, music,
and movement. When he is followed by curious onlookers,
as is often the case, he stops to engage a particular
group and caters the show to their age group and interests.
Jerry's act touches the heart and soul, bringing a universal
smile to all, regardless of race, religion, language,
or national origin."
Elizabeth
Friedman Branoff, Bay Area Regional Director
American Jewish World Service

"This
is in acknowledgment of Jerry Luther's work with the Kootenay
children's Festival in Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada...not
only does he have incredible control of his four ducks...these
four feathered friends join him as he roved throughout the
day and looked like a modern day pied piper with a hoard
of children dancing behind him everywhere he went.
Jerry
moves among the crowd dancing and manipulating his four
ducks while carrying a bright yellow (boombox) that provides
the background "tunes." His versatility amazes
me and he still manages to interact with his audience and
delight the children without missing a beat. I'm always
in awe of his stamina as he dances his way through the crowd
and around the entire festival site.
He has
always provided us with top caliber performances!! His character
is bubbly and he uses a variety of vivid costumes and special
effects...He uses different approaches for the diverse groups
of people in his audience and his performance is varied
according to what is popular with the children or in connection
our themes."
