Customer Appreciation

Sharon Boski, William J. Johnston Middle School
I greatly enjoyed directing 'A Lighter Shade of Noir' last year with my middle school theater students. It had everything I was looking for in a script for 6th, 7th and 8th graders: lots of parts for girls or parts that could be changed to female roles, action without lots of fighting, multiple character scenes that had things to do while other people were talking, a main story line but also sub-plots, links to school subjects (like literature and history), and most importantly - dialogue that I could stand listening to over and over in rehearsal that gave the students motivation to look deeper and deeper into their character development. I hope you write more for theater, especially children's theater. We need more good writing for these young actors. Sharon Boski
Nancy Arndorfer, Merrill High School
I sincerely enjoyed directing your creation. There were lots of wonderful characters and I had a great bunch of students with creative ideas. Many of the plays I read before I chose one have similar themes but yours piqued my interest in the first couple of pages.
Richard DeSpain, LaVilla School of the Arts
This is my first experience with the PDF download it is wonderful. It is so nice to see one of the royalty companies enter the 21st Century. Keep it up. I have already read the play you sent me. What an excellent piece of theatre. It is certainly a prime candidate for next year's season.
