| AUDIENCE WRITTEN RESPONSES | |
[We] enjoyed ‘Snapshots’ yesterday! The play was well-written and creative, beautifully acted, very moving/funny at times, and an incredibly appropriate tribute to the history of Southwold/Fingal and, specifically, to those who sacrificed their lives for us and our freedom! If I were a resident of your community, I would be deeply proud! (Heck, I’m not a resident and I’m still deeply proud!). Congratulations to you and everyone involved for capturing so effectively a piece of your local history, and inspiring so many of us in the process! My mom and I went to the Snapshots production yesterday. We thought it was wonderful. A wonderful production! I laughed, I cried, I learned. We enjoyed it! Really enjoyed well done! It was incredible do not miss it. We are so grateful as a family for the incredible emotional theatre we experienced today. The performance was absolutely breathtaking, and it truly touched our hearts. Both my Dad and siblings were equally moved by the experience. We truly cannot express our gratitude enough. Kudos to the playwright Len Cuthbert, the Southwold War Veterans Memorial Committee and the Southwold History Committee. We laughed, we cried, we learned and we remembered. My wife & I really loved your Flagship Erie & Snapshot plays. Congratulations! Snapshots Show was excellent! The three actors, Haley Kriz, Brittany Miranda, and Fynn Cuthbert, were amazing! I knew a bit about Fingal but only from hiking there a few times. Saw the show last night. Really well done. Highly entertaining, and I learned a thing or two as well. Quality script, quality performances. I loved the show! thank you so much! I went right on the last minute and it was fantastic! The trio is so talented... It was beautiful, laughs, tears, so emotional. A must see. Learnt a lot also. Full of history and a lot to think and understand. Loved every piece of it. Thank you! Just had to send a note to let you know that we all loved Snapshots and were very impressed with your work. Even my husband who doesn't typically enjoy theatre productions thought it was great. Honestly so well written and performed. I love how you were able to bring a local historical event to life in such a way that even an "outsider" like me was drawn in and interested in the lives of these local heroes. There were some really good lines in there, too--ones that had me reflecting on the importance of spending your time wisely and investing in people. And yes, I even cried--the lives of those veterans cut short for us. You should know that I was definitely influenced, informed, and inspired. :) I loved the artifacts, stories and the play was amazing! There were funny parts, sad parts, and I couldn't believe there were only three actors in the show. (8-year old) |
