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.
