“ I was very impressed from my first encounter with this fantastic work. The true Calamity Jane will help me to finally understand and better appreciate America’s Wild West vernacular!” - Prof. Georg Karg, Dept. Of Economics, U. of Munich, Germany (Prof. Karg, a personal friend of Kauffmans, specifially came from Germany to attend the performance)
