Review Links

The Hampstead Stage Company would like to thank the administrators, teachers, parents and most especially the students who have taken the time to write these letters.



On behalf of all of us at Shenandoah Elementary School I want to send a heartfelt thank you for a very fine performance today. Our students and staff completely enjoyed “The Legend of King Arthur”. The two young performers were absolutely wonderful.

We have already booked “A Christmas Carol” for next December and I cannot wait to see your interpretation and presentation.

I would highly recommend your program to any elementary school. Keep up the fine work.

Shenandoah Elementary School, Middletown, Indiana


The performers were absolutely magnificent. Our grade level is 1-8 and the actors kept all the students interested throughout the entire show, which I think is quite a great accomplishment.

On behalf of the Shanksville-Stonycreek School, I would like to express our thanks and appreciation to you and your two wonder actors for a fantastic performance of "The Legend of King Arthur." The teachers had a discussion and decided "this was the best assembly we have ever had. It was magical - they had the students in the palm of their hands."

~ Brenda A Coughenour, Secretary
Shanksville-Stonycreek School


The play was excellent, and our students were spellbound throughout the presentation. Each part each actor played was superbly done.

Cedar Park Elementary School, Selma, AL


All of the kids (not to mention the teachers and parents present) were enthralled for the entire performance. Many children thought there were more than two actors, too.

The program was enjoyed immensely, and I feel the students left the play with a new feeling of awareness of the legend of King Arthur. Thank you so much for your contribution to the cultural program of our school.

The staff, patrons and children want to thank you for a wonderful performance, The players presented The Legend of King Arthur at our library. It was a memorable evening for the adults and children. The actors performed superbly and involved the audience which added to everyone's enjoyment. Their performance helped bring the legend of King Arthur come to life. I fact, we had a display of books on the subject and most of the books were checked out that evening. That shows the effect of the performance. Please commend and thank the players for the magic they brought with their performance.

"That's the best program we've ever had." "My class hasn't stopped talking about the show." "Did you see the children's faces? They were enthralled." "We have to do this again next year." These were just a few of the comments we received for your wonderful players. They are a credit to your organization. Please pass on our thanks and best wishes to them. Looking forward to many great performances in the future.

Thank you for a wonderful performance of The Legend of King Arthur. Our students and teachers who attended the show absolutely loved it. It was well staged, costumed and acted from all reports collected through the audience. The actors were wonderful and their personal nature in developing a rapport with the children made what will surely be a lasting impression. My faculty felt this was the best performance we have had come in, and I personally agree with their assessment.

On behalf of the Thomas Jefferson Academy students, I would like to thank you for sending such talented and entertaining actors to present "The Legend of King Arthur."

~ Robert G. Bennett, Headmaster
Thomas Jefferson Academy, Inc., Louisville, GA


I want to write and thank you for sending us a wonderful play production, "The Legend of King Arthur", to our school district. The actors were very talented and audience friendly. The play was enjoyable to watch and presented the Legend of King Arthur in a delightful way to our students. Once again, thank you for this production and keep us informed of your upcoming performances.
~ Julie Schweinforth, Elem./Middle School Principal
West Central School District No. 49-7, Hartford, SD


Our second graders loved "King Arthur"! They wanted to write the actors a letter to tell them how much they enjoyed the play. It really was an outstanding presentation that involved the children and inspired them. Now my second graders want to know more about knighthood and castles. Most of the teachers who saw the production were surprised that the actors were not former teachers as they handled students so well. I hope our school and Parents Club continue to schedule your group each year. Please pass on this praise to those who wrote, directed, staged, and acted in "King Arthur".

On behalf of the Loretto Middle School, I am writing to again congratulate you on the fine actors, in "The Legend of King Arthur." They were extraordinary gifted in their characterizations. We all commend you on the excellent quality of your productions and actors! Thank you for providing this entertainment every year!

~ Anne Blanco, Dance and Drama

Our patrons and their children really enjoyed the performance of "The Legend of King Arthur" Our patrons love your performances. Your actors are eager and personable, and quite a few very young children wanted to be actors/actresses when the show was over. They even asked a lot of questions bout learning to act.

The troop that visited Clarendon Hall on Monday was outstanding.
