| As You Like It [2009] |
'Absolutely enchanting. From the Russian furs in winter to the fresh buds of a romance-filled spring, the characters awakened us to new possibilities for every kind of love and joy, with just enough of the motley melancholy “real world” to temper the tale. The acting is world class. Shakespeare at his best.' Lynn Bahrych 'We are so appreciative - in awe, really - of your work!' Kathy & Chic Wilson 'The show is fabulous. Everyone I talk to who has seen it is head over heels over Rosalind.' Karen Vedder 'We took our off-island guests to last week’s show. As usual it was wonderful. Thanks and thanks again for all you and Dan do.' Jennifer Bryan 'We are the people with the golden retriever who had the great pleasure of attending last Sunday night; the dog even getting a mention in your opening comments. The production was so well acted, all around, but particularly the critical role Rosalind, Sylvie Davidson. We will make sure to see every production from now on. Keep up the good work.' Louise Perlman & Mike Husk 'Fantastic production, again, as usual! We brought my sister and two nieces on Sunday, July 19, and they can’t stop raving about the performance. Our 15 year old son Conner, as you may remember, is one of your biggest fans; now my nieces (10 and 13) have joined the fan club. You do an amazing job bringing Shakespeare to SJI, and to be able to appeal to the young set, like you do, is especially amazing! Thank you, thank you!' Anna Koffelt-Kuetzing P.S. Our support $$ will be in the mail soon; must wait for payday! 'Thanks to you and everyone for pulling together yet another marvelous production. I enjoyed it thoroughly, as always. It's one of the high points of the Summer for me. Your dedication and willingness to put up with everything to make it work is inspiring. I wish you good weather, enthusiastic volunteers and deep-pocketed patrons! Namaste.' Ann Schwartz 'Loved it!!! a wonderful, very professional and polished production. I particularly loved the inclusion of live music and singing, a very rich experience overall. A wonderful, talented cast. FYI: Three of us came from Seattle just to see the play, a quick overnight trip, and so worth the journey....Thank you.' Lori Fulsaas 'I brought my 13 year old to his first Shakespeare and now he’s hooked. Fabulous performance! Thank you for bringing this wonderful quality to the islands.' Susan P 'Your production was a glorious delight- as always! Each played his/her part to perfection.' Nancy and Robert S 'One of our guests saw your wonderful performance and wanted to make a donation to you....truly an unforgettable evening. Our island is blessed to have you here. You truly are making a difference in this community and we wish you much success with all your performances. keep your light shining. Blessings.' Christian A 'I saw your play "As You Like It" a couple weeks ago - really enjoyed it and would like to make another donation online.' Kristine B 'Over the years we have enjoyed your excellent performances of plays by Shakespeare. We have always put donations in your buckets, but the time has come for a more serious donation. Many thanks for enriching our annual summer visits to San Juan Island. May you prosper and continue with your efforts.' Gretchen and Vern V 'We so enjoyed your presentation at Roche Harbor. Here is some artwork Emmerson (age 9), Isabella (age 6 1/2) and Alia (age 4) Cohn did afterwards. Please share with your cast.' Nancy H |
