Testimonials
Hi christine,
I would like to take this opportunity to send out my most deep felt gratitude for the show you prepared for us yesterday. The Miccio community center is honored to have experienced such an extraordinary performance in memory or Harriot Tubman. It is with great honored to express our gratitude because the show granted our kids the opportunity to experience what it was like during the time of slavery while having a one on one chance to re-live the life of an amazing women. Once again thank you for performing for us; without your support we would have never seen our hopes and dreams come to life on stage and be such a success.
Dear Ms. Dixon –
I just wanted to tell you how much my husband and I enjoyed your performance Monday eve at the Scarsdale Library. You are a true professional, a wonderful actress and what a voice!!
I work at The Scarsdale Inquirer (copyeditor) and read Lisa Bradlow’s article which made the performance sound good … So we registered to see it. But who knew? Much better than good … Great! Your incorporation of all the kids (22 of them, I counted), their interactions, their enthusiasm and enjoyment – just wonderful. And humor … Lots of impromptu humor. I’m sure you have a long successful career ahead of you … And I look forward to seeing you one day on Broadway when I can say, “I saw her when …….”
Best,
Sandy
