From Maile in New Mexico, about Chris and Devin!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful performance of The Hobbit. The actors were so talented at engaging the attention of the kids. We are an extremely rural area where kids don't get to see live theater very often. I expect this was the first event of its kind for many of the kids here today. (We had a turn-out of about 50 people, kids and adults.) The fact that Traveling Lantern brings the show to us is VERY important. Chris and Devin; the children of the Embudo Valley thank you and wish you well. I'm sure the hours are long and the pay not great but I hope you know what a wonderful service you provide. Thanks again, Maile Pickett
From KB:
Maile, the hours ARE long, but I'm proud to say the pay is good for young actors...we are very proud at TL to pay young actors MUCH better than most theatre companies in the USA. And that's one of the reasons we get such good actors, whom we also take pride in helping with their careers in many other ways, long after they have left our employ. We invest in them, and they in us.
Thanks for your kind words!

Hey, Chris and Devin, It looks like you are doing a great job and having a good time! I'm sure the kids will remember the performance you gave for a long time. Looking forward to hearing from you. Break a leg!
Talked to John this morning and pulled up your website. You must be having a great time doing the shows and traveling all over! John called to wish Bonnie a happy birthday! Let us know progress of your trip and shows! Love Bonnie and Larry
