Artistic Director of Time Capsule ProjectAi Toyoshima
It was truly wonderful to collaborate with Ayaka and Art Couriers International on our brand-new production of The Nutcracker and Marie at the Actors Fund Home. With very little rehearsal time (and budget), we came up with smart yet creative ideas for the event, and many of our audience members seemed to enjoy our holiday show. My experience working with Art Couriers International was very positive, and the outcome was a success! I look forward to working with them again soon!
Actors Fund HomeAdam Makofske
Art Couriers International performed The Nutcracker and Marie at The Entertainment Community Fund (Actors home) in December of 2024. The performance was wonderful and the residents loved it! It was an impressive performance that the residents still talk about.

I performed at an event for ACI and they were helpful at every step of the way, making sure our needs were met regarding the space, parking, etc. They understand artists and know how to set them up for success so they can provide the highest quality product making everyone happy.

Wonderful experience and happy it goes to a great cause! So nice to be able to have performance art brought to people that cannot access it on their own.
