Acting Warmup: Magic Putty

I just wanted to say a very big thank you for making "My Father Went to Switzerland..." available. I teach theatre in an English-medium international school in Berne, Switzerland and teach a unit on Stanislavski to 15/16 year old students every year. This year I used your download and it was brilliant! Not only did the students use your objective and given circumstances worksheets in conjunction with the script but also did diary entries as either Mr Jackson or Eugenie, created a whole background for them, did the scene before and the scene after. In fact did a whole lot of things and had a great time!! It's a fantastic resource and I just wanted to let you know!

The play was a great success, so thank you for producing a well-written and easy to perform work. The kids loved it, and it went over well with our public performance!

I have thoroughly enjoyed directing my last three shows - The Canterbury Tales, Will and Whimsy, and Circus Olympus. They are excellent adaptations, creatively conceived and written and classically based, all characteristics I look for in a high school show. I am retiring this year after directing 63 high school shows over 38 years, but I will encourage my successor to check out your cataglogue of plays.
