Dear Lorrie and Rob,
I wanted to write you and tell you what a wonderful time we enjoyed with Ben Regan and Chandra Diesel last week at MVCS.
It was simply amazing to watch these two professionals at work! Our students were interested and excited about the production all week.
They got caught up in Ben and Chandra's enthusiasm for the theatre and under their direction presented an amazing performance on Friday night.
The play, the music, the costumes, the scenery, and the props contributed to a great learning experience for all of our students and staff.
Most of all we, recognized that we had excellent teachers in Ben and Chandra!
Thank you for sending them to us! I am sure that all of our students, the faculty and staff of MVCS, and the parents of our students would
agree with me when I say that I would highly recommend Children's Stage Adventures to every school.
It was wonderful to watch the children work together and encourage one another as they pressed toward the Friday night goal of performing Oliver Twist.
Sincerely,
Harry Lingley,
Teacher of Grades 3 & 4
