Customer Appreciation

Jeff Pinsky, Beaconsfield High School
We wrapped on Somewhere, Nowhere last week. Largest audience my department has ever had, and my kids had a flawless run. Translation: the BEST production I've ever done. The laughs, the raw emotion, the tears of joy and sorrow when it was all over... my grads loved this play, and so did I.
Shaun Winterflood ASTSD Principal of S.W.A.T.S.
Just wanted to let you know that my drama school S.W.A.T.S. (The Shaun Winterflood Academy of Theatrical Studies) performed ALICE last Saturday afternoon as the culmination of their Summer School. All 46 children really loved working on the script during the week and the performance was enjoyed by the entire audience and pupils alike. Thank you for a wonderful script which suited the age group concerned of 5 - 14 year olds.
Diane Sullivan, Director, Sauk Prairie Middle School, Sauk City, Wisconsin
We just finished our run of Circus Olympus. It was a huge success--the audience loved it. As the director, I especially appreciated the wide range of characters for all acting abilities. We used 31 kids. I'll be looking for another play like this for the future.
