Dear Sarah,
Congratulations on another fantastic weekend of performances. We loved both Charlie Brown and Secret Garden. Two very different plays equal a weekend of great entertainment.
We laughed out loud so many times during You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown. Often, when we see a play and discuss it afterwards, there is one scene, one character that really is a favourite, but with Charlie Brown it was one favourite moment followed by the next. Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Sally, Schroeder, and Snoopy…we thought that everyone did such a good job at bringing their Peanuts character to life. Of course, we loved the teens and the Dalmatians too and the wonderful choreography. Everyone on stage looked like they were totally into their characters, it was a joy to watch! Over the weekend our family has had fun trying to determine which “new philosophy” is our favourite!
Our feelings on Secret Garden can’t be put into words. So much to take in and absorb, so many beautiful voices, not knowing what voice to focus on, an abundance for the ear. It was the fastest 3 hours of our lives, wanting it to go on and seeming to be over too soon. I heard someone crying, come spirit come charm and the finale gave us goose bumps. We are already wishing that we could see it again.
We would like to thank you as well for the extra opportunity that Jessica was given to be part of the Secret Garden cast. She really appreciated and valued her time with “the grown ups” and feels very proud to have been a part of such a powerful performance and to stand on the stage with such a talented group of people.
We appreciate the way that all the cast treats the children, full of praise and kind words and always taking the time to notice the effort that they put in. The fact that everyone takes the time to make them feel a valuable part of the performance makes them burst with pride.
Thank you so much for the another entertaining weekend.
