"Pippa's presentation was phenomenal; I laughed, I cried, I just loved it."
"Pippa's theatrical performance about the Orphan Train was as good as any play on Broadway."
"The play was an emotional journey; all I could think about was what these children endured. Pippa grasped their story with proficient talent."
These commentaries and more were expressed by authentic orphan train riders, descendants, and the public at the 50th Reunion of Orphan Train Riders of New York celebration in Minnesota.

"Pippa's performance was one of the most inspiring and captivating perfromances I have ever seen! She has a unique talent that enables her to bring her audience back in time, but the time spent with her went much too quickly. After the performance, my students wanted more and were immediately researching more historical information without any persuasion from me."

“... a history lesson that lasted more than 70 minutes. When it was over, the applause went on and on.”

"Pippa White's account of the Orphan Train story is masterfully accomplished. She very sensitively communicates a significant historical phenomenon that affected the lives of thousands of children and American families over a period of decades. Her effective use of simple costuming and excellent characterizations provide a lively, entertaining means of sharing a poignant message. I am struck by the artful way in which she weaves multiple storylines in a way that informs and touches audiences of all ages."
