Stories from our patrons
(From a mother talking about her daughter being in the young company)
“I just have to share with you how happy Claudia has been in the program. I don't know if you sprinkle some kind of magic dust, but somehow, whenever Claudia has worked with the education department at Stoneham Theatre it has brought out the very best in her. She feels very comfortable, is always welcomed warmly by friends and staff, and her confidence soars. She seems to be able to take artistic risks and really put herself out there - completely and without inhibitions. She has performed with so many different theatre groups but I have never seen this level of excitement, commitment and desire for her to give 110%. She comes home exuberant (and a little tired :) ). She talks excitedly about Andrew's acting workshop and is self-motivated to do her homework each day. She told me that she and Andrew bonded on the first day (I imagine this is common with Andrew's magnetic and charismatic personality!) Claudia also performs her dance routines daily for us at home. She is so thrilled with both of her workshops, and with her teachers and directors. I honestly don't think I have ever seen her so happy!”
(from a mother requesting a scholarship for her daughter to be in the young company summer program)
“Thank God for the young company and Stoneham Theatre!. It’s the best thing that ever happened in Stoneham and to my daughter Alyssa. Ever since Alyssa started performing in the summer program three years ago, her passion for the theatre has continued to grow. The past three summers have been the best summers of her life participating in the the young company’s summer plays. She could not imagine not being part of the summer program and thanks to the scholarship program she is able to fulfill her dreams. The Stoneham theatre young company has also allowed Alyssa to meet so many talented people who have inspired and motivated her. Not to mention all the new friends she has made from surrounding cities. The unforgettable experiences with the young company at Stoneham Theatre have been a part of her life that she will always treasure.”
(from a family who are subscribers and donors and whose daughter is a member of the young company)
“We started coming to Stoneham Theatre just to spice up the holidays with a showing of The Christmas Carol. The show was incredible and a lot of fun for everyone. Besides adding a little spice, it opened a whole new world for our entire family. Great shows, top-notch kids programs and friendly staff. We can’t believe the tremendous value of having professional theatre, at a great price, right in our own backyard. Now, we have season tickets and the holiday show has become a family tradition. Stoneham Theatre is a tremendous opportunity for the whole family to experience great theatre.
Our daughter fell in love with Stoneham Theatre when she was four and before we new what happened, she was involved in children’s workshops, learning new things and acting on stage. The kids programs are full of talented and friendly people who have helped her experience theatre first hand. She says it’s “Awesome Fun” and she can’t wait for the each new program to start.”
