I would like very
much to let the actors know more than applause could express. Namely that last night they created a tremendously transporting theatre
experience. I fell fully under the spell they cast and found myself loving each of the characters they created like my own family. Each of the performers worked so beautifully ensemble, that while certainly each had their gifts, it's impossible to name one without commenting on each of them. It was a perfect performance, and I felt the need to let them know the power they were tapping into last night.

I am grateful to have been there last night. Thank you.

Just want to tell you Arden Production people that we saw the production of Gee's Bend on Saturday at the matinee, and the cast received a standing ovation!! All four actors were OUTSTANDING! We are long-time subscribers to Arden, and I was especially captivated because I gave a presentation of Gee's Bend quilters to my Monday discussion group today, and I was able to recommend strongly your production of Gee's Bend. I also saw the quilts at the Art Museum and was very impressed by their beauty. I also have a DVD that I ordered that includes interviews with Mary Bendolph and daughter Bessie, who I think are Sadie and Asia, mother and daughter in the play. The play follows that family authentically in Gee's Bend, and the female leads in the play were absolutely beautifully portrayed..transitions from children to old women were seamless and convincing.

Thank you for yet another reason we love to come to the Arden and bring our friends.

Good luck and Bless you all.
