The couple is on a quest to secure a series of objects to break a curse set by the Witch, preventing them from being able to have children. Carter brings a cup of charm, a dash of wit, and a pinch of vocal prowess to form a top tier Baker." -Michael Woody; DaytonLocal.com Review "The personable Luka Ashley Carter (Baker) and endearing Mary Ann Sprague (Baker’s Wife) are perfectly paired as a loving yet bickering couple longing to become parents in spite of emotional twists and turns" -Russell Florence Jr.; Dayton Daily News Review
