GLIMPSEs of past performances

MASSACHUSETTS 2018

"The music is melodic, compelling, dramatic, etc., and it advances and enhances the plot beautifully.  Your use of various motifs throughout help to bind it all together and make it memorable even for those hearing it the first time.  The finale is spine-tingling!  Your script masterfully compacts Dickens' novel into an understandable story that--despite inevitable abridging and adjusting--is true to the spirit of the original.  The lyrics make sense, are beautiful, and aren't syrupy.  It's an astounding achievement..."
Massachusetts Production Music Director

"We do sense that you have been gifted by God for this...  This production has been blessed in many ways and no one in the company wants it to end.  Thanks again, Kirsten, for your magnificent adaptation of Dickens' story.  We continue to hear rave reviews of it...  Your work has deeply impacted and inspired those who were involved in our production."
Massachusetts Production Director

PATRICK HENRY COLLEGE
​Original Cast

"From start to finish, the level of work and love put into this production is obvious.  The play is spectacular...  The first vivid scene and the storming of the Bastille grab you by the scruff of the neck and refuse to let you go for some time.  The last scene in particular... reduced even this crusty critic to a few tears."
Patrick Henry Herald

"...a refreshingly tight production."
Purcellville Gazette

"...a theatrical masterstroke..."
The Home School Court Report
