Another Thank You Letter from a Two Time Glowworm Viewer

It's been a few days now, and I'm still thinking about Glowworm after seeing it for the second time. I figure I owe it to New Century to drop you an email and let you know what I think.

Bottom line first: I couldn't be more excited to see what New Century is doing for theatre in Seattle. Truly. Thank you, all of you, for doing what you do.

I loved not just this play, but your production. Spare, elegant, wonderfully cast, beautifully directed and performed, you all manage to get at the heart of this play, as you did with "On The Nature Of Dust", "Orange Flower Water", and "Adding Machine". It's a production that rewards a second visit, as Paula and I found to our great delight. Great performances from the entire cast, both nights we saw it.

I didn't know Mark really well - just well enough to chat - but I'm confident that he would be thrilled and delighted to see what you've created, as we all are.

Everyone at New Century should be incredibly proud. And everyone in Seattle should be incredibly grateful.

Thank you, thank you. And more, please. Lots more.

A letter of thanks...

O Lovely Glowworm have received some wonderful feedback from the community.  We wanted to share some of it with you.  Here is a letter from Allan Armstrong:

Dear Lovely NCTC Artists,

I was so knocked out by your show last night that I couldn't put two words together during the talk back, and just sat there with a silly smile on my face while other people made intelligent comments. I wanted to rave about the pure shining excellence of the production, but I was dumbstruck and words would not come out. Then I had to take my date home and couldn't stay afterwards to congratulate you all in person, so this email will have to do.

Oh Lovely Glowworm is just sensationally great in every aspect (although the script could possibly benefit from a teeny bit of cutting). This show lives in the same exalted realm as your immortal debut production. From the design and technical standpoints alone it is a stunning accomplishment, but then added to that is ensemble acting, focused energy, and sheer stage virtuosity that sets the platinum standard for all other companies to aim for. Every theater professional and theatergoer should see this production, and pay very close attention to every detail and moment of it, because Glowworm demonstrates what is possible when a band of first-rate artists, fueled by hot passion for their craft, create a sublime theater experience. Dammit, if people would regain consciousness and realize how rarely this happens, every performance would be sold out.

Thank you, NCTC, for working in Seattle and producing these exquisite shows for us. Long may you thrive!

-Allan

Thank you Allan and to all who have seen the show.  We only have 2 weeks left and then it will be gone forever.

After the Show

The process of bringing O Lovely Glowworm to the stage has been a bonding one.  This is one of those shows that demands time after the performance to be in the company of all who just went through it with you.  Here is one such night out.  There will be more.  Usually at 611 Supreme on Capitol Hill.  We'll see you there.

It's a HIT!!!!!

Our production of O Lovely Glowworm just finished the second week of it's run and it's officially a hit!  We have received such wonderful feedback from the community.  But we would love to hear more of what you have to say.  Please comment below so we can have a dialogue.  Thanks.

Our crackpot marketing team had the idea to create a series of "Scraps of Paper" coming to life as they do for the Goat.   This is Jen Taylor:
