COMMUNITY TESTIMONIALS
“Last night’s performance was spectacular! I hope that everyone in Beaufort County gets a chance to see it. “Heidi” was unbelievable! I was exhausted just watching her!” - Kathy Nowack
“I wanted to congratulate you on the production of What the Constitution Means to Me. Lean Ensemble again lived up to its reputation for delivering a thought provoking performance on a very courageous and timely topic. Four days later I am still thinking about the Constitution and its interpretations - in the past and likely in the future.” - Cindy Pettit
“Another hit on your hands! Fun Home was a great show, fabulous voices and the music was divine! Your first Lean Ensemble musical was a success!! Full house, too! ...kudos to each and every one of you, stage and off stage!! A magnificent evening!!” - Trish Heichel
“We both thought Proof was exceptional! Superb acting. The set design was incredible.” - Barb and Richard Hammes
"I just wanted to say thanks again for allowing our students to come see a performance of The Glass Menagerie. It truly was an excellent performance, and I think many of my students in particular (AP Literature students) enjoyed and really benefitted from seeing such a well-produced play." - Christine Dykstra, English Department, Hilton Head Christian Academy
“Thank you! We loved the Play! Great Job. I am so glad I became a charter member. It will be successful.” - Patty Crews
“I don't think an audience could have been more appreciative. Congratulations on the successful opening!” - Marcia Collett
“It was Wonderful.. a full house, a great play, wonderful performers. How exciting! Congratulations to you all!!” - Cathy and Mike Nairne
“The production we saw tonight was a towering success in every way. We had high expectations- but this far exceeded them. For many years we attended the Long Wharf Theatre and the Yale Rep-- and The Westport Playhouse-- all in Connecticut. We have missed "real" theatre dreadfully. Thank you all--and especially Blake-- for having the vision." - Roger and Lynne Irvine
“Thanks so much for a wonderful experience @ the Theater last nite! When we moved to SC from NYC 10 years ago, my friends up North decided that we were "giving up culture" for good! As I was enjoying your production of God of Carnage, I laughed at the recollection.” - Sue Gassner
