"We really value the guidance and help you gave us in relation to hiring the AK47 guns for our play... Working with your company, we were able to pull off a professional standard of show which guaranteed the safety of all concerned. Our young people learnt a lot through the process. Many thanks."

- Aileen Ritchie, Ignite Theatre
