The Hampstead Players have been performing at The National Radio Astronomy Observatory for many, many years. Yesterdayþs performance was outstanding. Casie Knowles and Nicholas Kessler performed The Secret Garden at NRAO here in Green Bank, WV. The performance was absolutely the best I've seen. Since yesterday's show, I have heard nothing but praise for their performance.

On behalf of Fairyland School on top of Lookout Mountain, GA. I would like to thank the actors that performed The Secret Garden on November 22nd. They were funny, professional, and most important, kept the story as magical as the book. I hope we will be able to have The Hampstead Players again!

We would like to thank you for a wonderful performance of The Secret Garden. The children thoroughly enjoyed the story, especially watching the "changing of the characters". You did a fabulous job of depicting a very sweet story. We look forward to your return.

This program supports Literature in Arts. With the interaction with students it helps them with their public speaking iniative. Excellent performance.

Our "Secret Garden" show was a hit and the children seemed to enjoy it. Mark and Stacey did a great job. Thanks again, and I hope that we can have Hampstead Stage Company come again in the future.

We just finished enjoying "The Secret Garden" by Colin and Julie, and it was absolutely perfect. This is probably the best play we have had, and weþve been having these for many, many years. Our students were perfectly quiet, as they were enthralled by the actors, and hung on to every word they said. I commend you for the quality of programs you produce, and I hope to schedule more of them.

Last week our students were treated to an outstanding version of The Secret Garden by two of your very talented actors. Our students were enthralled with the story! They were fascinated by the †quick changeÿ ability of the male actor and also the actorsþ ability to do different voices. Their attention was captivated for the entire performance. Even our kindergarteners sat and listened quietly. The students especially enjoyed the question and answer session after the performance. The actors were professional and friendly, and they certainly respresented the company well.

All of the students at Wrightsville Beach School truly were taken away from the beaches of our community to the moors of England while viewing the delightful presentation of The Secret Garden. The two actors were most professional in their acting, staging, and were much appreciated for the involvement of three members of the audience. The actors' enthusiasm for their job was transparent. They love what they do! Their interaction with the children, from kindergarten to fifth graders, was wonderful, and the honest and clear answers to the questions of the audience were enlightening. I will be sharing your brochure with other schools in our county in hopes that the love of drama will be spread to them all. Many thanks for providing such a delightful hour of theatre.
