When I first saw a picture of The Signature Project I was intrigued. I had no idea what the show would entail, but something in that image spoke to my heart. Within minutes of just meeting Patrick Dunning, I was completely captivated by his presence and brilliance. Within minutes of the start of his performance, I knew that my view of the world around me would never be quite the same. His artistry, imagination, and talent are truly spectacular. Those of us who were blessed with the opportunity to witness his work have been affected in a way that is indescribable. We will never forget what we experienced that day. We cannot thank Patrick enough for sharing his vision with us and giving us the honor of becoming a part of his work. We want to thank him for coming to our school, for indulging all of our questions, for his perseverance with The Signature Project, and for truly touching our souls.

"Patrick Dunning and his Signature Project were at our school today. It was absolutely everything you said, which I didn't doubt for a minute. I was actually moved to tears by the talent and thought and determination, not to mention motivation, it takes to see your vision through. I mean, I get frustrated when I have to wait for paint to dry before I wallpaper, ya know what I mean? Let alone take on a project of such detail and precision that will take up to 20 years to complete. I was just amazing. Patrick is a wonderful storyteller. There is such a 'truth' to his tone. It is quite captivating, and I will not soon forget this experience... I really want to thank you for knowing your stuff, Gina! Academic Entertainment is top notch when it comes to knowing what will capture a kid's attention....Again thanks a lot Gina, it has been a pleasure doing business with you."

"Dear Gina,
Thank you so much for a wonderful assembly! The Signature Project assembly was truly amazing. Mr. Dunning gave a captivating performance. I sat nearby and watched the children watching him. They were so interested in everything he did and said. Many of the teachers came by during a break in the shows to tell him how much they enjoyed the presentation. I heard similar compliments in the weeks that followed by teachers and parents whose children had come home and told them about Mr. Dunning.
Thank you for sharing this interesting project with our school. I think it will be something the children will remember the rest of their lives. What's really nice is that when the project is complete they can say that they met Mr. Dunning and saw the project while it was developing."
