		<description>Hi Katie:

The Ushers Group (www.ushers.us)really enjoyed your performance in Side Show at Elden Street Players. Thanks for thanking the group here (twice) I hope you will let me know about your future productions. I&#039;m sure the Ushers&#039; members who were fortunate to see and hear your gorgeous voice on August 11th, would love to see you and hear your fabulous voice again. Joel</description>

		<description>My apologies to Andrew and we will correct it quickly, Andrew was hysterical in Reefer Madness. I don&#039;t know if you know this Don, but Andrew comes from an acting family. I was honored to meet and talk with them at Toby&#039;s in Baltimore at Grease. You can read about the Sonntag mishpachah at

		<description>Joel - 

It is such a honor to us at Act Two that you are willing to take the time to come and support youth theater.  We are very lucky to have such a welcoming community here in the Washington DC area, among so many world class regional theatres.  With your help we are growing as we move into our third season as you have helped spread the word of our work across the community.

From myself, my collegues, our families, and the young actors of tomorrow that you have touched by being a part of the Act Two family, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

		<description>Dear Joel,

Thank you so much for including two Act Two&#039;s shows in your ten best list of musicals.  Such a tremendous honor for such a young company that&#039;s deeply committed to making of their kids the greatest actors of tomorrow!  I feel so privileged to be associated with Act Two. My daughter always looks forward to the next audition.  I think Act Two truly deserves to be counted in your top ten list.  Their dedication and commitment to these young actors is unparallel.  

Thank you for coming to see our shows.  The kids love you and the producers and directors appreciate it very much.

Sincerely,

Anna Rigizadeh</description>

		<description>Kevin:

Thanks for the kind words. It&#039;s you and Keith and Scott&#039;s dedication and the parents and young actors and technicians and musicians that made my job easy selecting Lez Miz and Blood Brothers at Act Two as two of my favorite musicals this year.
.
I saw over 3 dozen musicals here and in NYC last year, and what I saw Act Two do at The Olney Theatre Center was simply remarkable. The pressure&#039;s on to do better next season. I&#039;ll be watching...and wishing you well. Joel</description>
