Customer Appreciation

Caitlin Herst, Student Performer, Boulder Creek High School

I recently saw your shout out to BCHS on your blog, as well as the podcast where you spoke to some of my classmates and fellow castmembers of Stroke Static. I played Ruthie in Stroke Static and The Prioress in The Canterbury Tales. I would like to take the time to let you know just how much that performance meant to me. Participating in Stroke Static was by far one of the best, most rewarding, and life-changing experiences of my life so far. But even past that, the fact that we touched so many people in our performance really affected me. I sincerely wish that you could have been there to see it. It was truly magical. I would like to thank you from the very bottom of my heart for the work you put into this play. I hope we made you proud!

Our plan is to produce the whole show (Shout!) in the fall next year. The concept is perfect for our new program. Thank you so much for your generosity and for the fantastic material you provide. It is perfect for high school students. We are taking Body Body and Power Play to competition this year. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

We performed your play (Power Play) on Sunday night at the Kawartha District Sears Drama festival and it won the Outstanding Production award (along with Awards of excellence for ensemble acting, tech work, direction and stage management)!!! The adjudicator really loved how the play "took her on a journey...the character development was fantastic". My students have been completely consumed by this project! It has been so rewarding as a teacher to see them so invested in something! Thanks again for providing such amazing material for our students. They have learned so much from this experience.
