-Professional Actor in Halifax

“I received a phone call
this morning from a woman who saw
'Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolour Dreamcoat'. She
wanted to pass along her compliments
on a great show. She thought it was
an excellent performance filled with
great talent. She was also very touched
by the fact the show included a special
child and she was impressed by his
talent. She said it brought tears to her
eyes. She said she will definitely be back
and just wanted to pass along her
congratulations on a fantastic show!
This e-mail really doesn't do her
compliments justice. She was gushing!
- Leah Terry, PR Eastern Front Theatre

"'The Secret Garden' was youre most
beautiful show to date. I think it was
sung better than the original
Broadway version.. really. I'd like to hear
a recorded version of your show. It
was awe inspiring!"
-Theatre Ptron of 'The Secret Garden', who saw the show on Broadway.

"Rehearsing and performing in Godspell
has given me the confidence to be able
to say no to destructive behaviour
and focus on the community I am helping
to build"
- Anonymous, Actor in Godspell

"I would like to dedicate this performance to our sponsored child Andriy Cherkav of the Ukraine".
- Matt Gallant, Actor in 'H.A.I.R'
