A great big THANK YOU! to professional actors Mark Aldredge (right) and Michael Greenwood for generously donating their talents and to Jeff and Joanna Lodin for opening their home for professional readings of the students' plays.

The plays were performed two months later by the students, and were directed by the student authors, to a packed and enthusiastic audience.

Comments on the classes

"Thank you for the wonderful time we had today at the performance. The kids were amazing. We were afraid that after watching professional actors playing their plays, it would be difficult for them to find their own voices. It appeared that the kids did even better than the adult professionals!

"You are doing a fantastic job. Your classes so far are the best homeschooling experience Adina has had."

"Just wanted to tell you again how impressed we all were with Sunday's performances. What you got out of those kids was simply amazing.

"To tell the truth, I wasn't expecting much from the actual performances — having seen the plays done by professionals, I thought the kids couldn't possibly measure up. But I certainly underestimated them. They were wonderful!

"What a gifted teacher you are, and what a blessing for all of us that you have found your calling and are sharing your gifts and your time with our children.

"Thank you!"
