"The Phantom Sheep are the funniest and most original improv act I have ever seen. These guys are pros! " 
-Eric Kenney, owner of Capos Cafe & Stage

"Bravo!!!.. What a great show, spontaneous verbal eruptions followed by contagious laughter."- Milta V, LaughCrafters:Comedy Improv audience member

"I've studied in their improv class sessions for three years now and can contribute immense growth on stage, with confidence, character building, and so much more, directly to them. Not only that - classes and these humans are a joy and a huge stress relieve. I highly recommend both classes with them and attending their own performances and checking out some of their sketches posted around the interwebs."
- Stevie Norman
 

"I have had the opportunity to work with the Phantom Sheep as instructors for classes ranging from kindergarten to adult. I have also worked with them as puppet consultants and performers and I can not speak any more highly of them! Easy to work with, talented, and fun!"- Becca Coolong, Springfield JCC


"...Just a note to thank you for your professionalism for Nutrition Jepardy in March 2004. Again, it was a great success and we will see if we place again for most creative nutrition promotion [ed note: they did! 2nd place nationally!] It is such a pleasure working with all of you. ...I look forward to working with you all again! Thanks for doing such a great job!"-Dianne Sutherland, UMASS Aux.Services 
"Just wrapped up my second session with Phantom Sheep Players. Not only have I learned about improv, but in a broader sense, I've learned about character developement, listening on stage, and working with your scene partner. These are invaluable lessons in the world of theatre and acting and I can't reccomend their classes enough. Special shout-out to Eric, Tommy, and Jeff, for being the leaders of this great troupe."- Josh
"These classes are a lot of fun and you learn stuff painlessly about yourself and how to react to, collaborate with and support others. I have brought several "newbies"  in and all have been welcomed warmly and uniformly were happily surprised at what they accomplished"- Simon, improv class student

"I have taken a few classes with Phantom Sheep, and I have loved every minute of it! The classes are a great way to enhance your improv skills in a judgement-free setting. The instructors are very kind and supportive, and they have helped me to step outside my comfort zone and build confidence. I would highly recommend taking these classes, especially if you love to laugh!"- Lexi Oliver, WMass News

"I'm currently in my second session of classes with the Phantom Sheep Players, and it is one of the best investments I have made in myself. Even in a short amount of time, I have learned so much about improv and have a newfound confidence in myself. Additionally, these classes are a great way to relieve stress and are something to look forward to on Mondays. Working with the troupe and other classmates are an absolute joy, and everyone is always supportive of each other."
- Paige


"Have been taking classes with Phantom Sheep for about two years now, and have seen tremendous growth in my comfort on stage, as well as generalized confidence. Eric and Tommy run a professional class at a great rate!"- Adam "GREAT SHOW!!!...I loved how well you guys play off each other, you all looked like you were having a lot of fun and nothing was forced, awesome"- Frank, LaughCrafters Improv audience member

"Boy oh boy. If Laughter is a mandatory ingredient in your life, as it is mine, check out Comedy Improv Classes through Phantom Sheep Players...There are nights with this group that I laugh so hard I snort, shriek and bend over howling. This class is for any level of experience. The troupe gently pulls you into the fold. It's a wonderful learning experience on so many levels. I am learning about myself, my relationships, my strengths and weaknesses. There is freedom to screw up without feeling like crap. Cost is wicked reasonable. I can get that info if anyone is interested."- Betsy
"Last night I took an improv class that ended up being so much fun and I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time! Thanks to Eric for creating a safe space for me to come out of my shell"- Lauren

"The 2007 Holiday DVD is easily the most cleverly conceived of the three DVD's produced thus far. Everyone puts up hilarious performances and the concepts are just extremely clever (sorry for using 'clever' twice, but it's the best way to describe it). The Three Wisemen/Stooges meets the Marx Brothers was downright genius, but with that, I'm not discrediting the rest of the acts. Look for the Tommy Lynch "Ooo Carolers!" clips... they'll blow your mind. Awesome job everyone, thanks for the laughs. "-Chris G, Boston, MA "Just watched the '07 DVD, and its amazingly done. My favorite parts were the Geek Alphabet (it was especially funny because a few times I guessed correctly what the next letter would be, beacuse I too, am a geek.) and the skit with Racheal Ray and Julia Childs. The humor is delightfully inapproriate, and certainly put me in mood for Christmas."-Rachel L, E.Longmeadow, MA

"I just watched your Laughcrafters Holiday Show and found it to be hysterical.  You and your four  partners have combined the flavor of Saturday Night Live, Second City, and Laugh In and put it all together to make your own unique style of comedy....Keep the laughter coming!"-PCTV's B-Mile, Producer


"On behalf of the board of trustees and library users of Abington, I would like to thank you for sharing the LaughCrafters Comedy Improv with our young adults...We appreciate all your hard work and would welcome the opportunity to have you back again.  Thank you for bringing such a wonderful program to our library."
- Deborah G, Director, Abington Library.

"You guys are so funny!...It looked so good!"-Erin

"...The two characters were simply amazing!  They engaged every person in the room, old and young.  They took volunteers several times throughout the show and took great pains to choose kids and adults of all ages.  Props and costumes were colorful and their voices and skit was packed with energy....It was fun to see them include jokes for all age levels also, as this made it much more enjoyable for the adults attending with the children."- SID, Inc. (Mayhem Mission) "The Show was Incredible!-for kids AND ADULTS. Disney quality performance and creativity. LOVE IT!...They were so talented and entertaining. Thank you!"- Fan letter re: PWP

"Great show last night! I think my favorites were the "Blue Man Group" and the "Waking Scrooge", with "Flute Hero" a close third... Fantastic job Eric, Tommy, Zippy, Seymour, and Jeff!!!!!!"

"Our own Yoda of sorts, the Phantom Sheep Productions Improv troupe.  Thanks to their workshops, we acquired the skills we need to successfully make fools of ourselves without making complete fools of ourselves"-Steve, "Puce Tomato Gods" student troupe.

"....After All one off the shows Dead Legends Live! featured comedy and songs from actors dressed as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, "Mama" Cass Elliot, and Frank Sinatra.  I really didn't think that a kid Noel's age-she turns 10 in a few weeks- would even know these icons of American show business, much less appreciate the grim parody song of 'I'm All Dug Up,' sung to 'I'm All Shook Up.'     It brought a tear to my eye when Noel turned to me and said that Elvis was the 'king of rock and roll.'"- G.Michael Dobbs, managing editor, Springfield Reminder
"Just wanted to let you all know that last night's show was my favorite by far! ...Also, I enjoyed the proverb game as well, very interesting and definitely one I'd like to see at another show.   I am declaring myself as Tommy's # 1 groupie: I laugh everytime he opens his mouth!  It was a great show for all !!! Mullet Shampoo Rules!  -Kelly, LaughCrafters audience member" "Los Angeles has its Groundlings, Chicago is famous not only as the Second City, and Saturday Night Live will always be 'Live from New York.' But someday, if the gods of sketch and improvisational comedy are kind, [Western MA] will be known as the birthplace of Phantom Sheep."- Karl M. Rexer, The Republican


"...your stage show at the Women's Club was great... You are a funny and talented group!"-Martha G. (LaughCrafters audience)
