From Gretchen in New York
The company came to perform "The Hobbit" for children at our library yesterday and I would like to share how WONDERFUL the program was. Not only was the performance engaging to the children (KAZAM!), but the opportunity to talk with the actors afterword was tremendously well handled by the actors. Two of the children in the audience got scared at one point during the show, but neither left the show (one actually watched through the glass door when scared and came back in the room when not). After the show, a parent asked about how the kids might think about the scary parts when they got home. The actors handled it beautifully talking directly about what it means to play a role and that under those scary masks are "us"! They let the kids touch the masks and the children who were frightened became completely engaged and excalimed with big smiles, "cool!" I would like to compliment the actors on a very professional, fun and wonderfully delivered performance for the children in our community. We would LOVE to have you back for more shows!!!! THANK YOU!
