Back in February, we invited a group of students from Young Playwrights, the only professional theater in the country “dedicated to identifying, developing, and promoting playwrights age 18 and under”, to attend our production of The Faire. A few weeks ago we received a parcel of beautiful letters from some of the students congratulating us on our run. We asked their permission to re-publish some excerpts from the letters here:
“All the characters were distinct and fresh, with pockets of wisdom from the most unexpected of them”
“Theatre should always be an enjoyment, and the Fault Line Theatre makes art so enjoyable. I hope to see many more shows at the Fault Line Theatre outside of Young Playwrights, but I am always glad when companies donate tickets to assist young artists along such as I. It is always appreciated, and such generosity should not go without notice.”
“I loved how timeless yet timely the story was.”
“Thank you so much for providing tickets to see The Faire. I don’t get to see theater often, so when I am able to it is always a treat. Writing plays can at times seem to be a process far removed from performing plays, when the keyboard and the screen are more important than the actors or stage set up. It is therefore refreshing and invigorating to see the lines of a script become sound out of an actor’s mouth. I always feel like my writing improves after seeing a performance.”
