Testimonials for Season 12 (2010 – 2011)
| Faust International Youth Theatre | |
“I would like to say, I have found the whole Faust experience to be extremely impressive. Our sons have done drama at NIDA and AIPA in Sydney and Faust certainly compares very favourably with both those organisations.” “My son has been enjoying the workshops a lot and is improving his social & performance skills! Please kindly pass on a BIG thank you to the leaders for their leadership!” “My daughter has been having a ball at your classes; we hear about them all week through and she gets us to act out with her on the weekend. Whatever you're doing, you're doing well!” “My daughter absolutely loves Faust. She has unquestionably grown in confidence since she joined and she actually told me the other day that she thinks she is closer to some of her Faust buddies than her school mates. Truly a testimony to your efforts. You are really doing great things.” |

“Thank you for all your efforts, time and energy you put into our children. Our daughter loves Faust and I do believe it adds an enormous amount of value to her week. She has really grown in stature this year, and part of that has to be due to her involvement in Faust.” “Congratulations to you for the successful show last week. Bravo! My husband and I enjoyed it very much. My daughter and her friends have worked very hard to make the show so wonderful, not to mention the leadership and hard work from you and your assistants. We're looking forward to the next season of the group.” “Thank you so much. My daughter had a lovely, a fabulous time and wants to join the next session in September. We look forward to more of your performances!” “I confess I was expecting something more "school play-ish" and was consequently very pleasantly surprised by the high standard of the production. Really terrific! Needless to say, Faust is the highlight of my daughter’s week and has been since she joined and I am delighted you guys seem to be going from strength to strength.” “My son enjoyed the experience being on stage very much & he just loves it!” “What a fantastic show in such a short amount of time. Well done all!” “A fabulous show! I loved the singing, dancing, acting and the humour! The music was very funky!” “Great job everyone! Excellent acting and pirate spirit! All that acting paid off you all are magnificent!” “Absolutely fabulous! Congrats on a blazing success!” “Really enjoyed the show. Great script, great acting highly entertaining!!!

What you guys did with those kids was just brilliant.” “All performances were amazing, because you all put your heart into it.” “The show was stunning and your hard work was very clear.” “The show was amazing, you and the team did a fantastic job with the children, the adaptation, costumes, rehearsal schedules, parent information etc; and it showed in the performances. What a buzz for the children to perform to packed houses every show.” “We all really enjoyed the show and thought it was very professionally done. Well done to everybody who participated.

| Andrea Darvill – Storyteller Extraordinaire | |
“We would like to thank you for the fantastic show ... The children were absorbed in the different stories introduced to them. The stories were relevant to the age of the children that attended the show and they were able to recall and remember the story telling experience. Parents that came to see the show too had nothing but positive comments to add. They also made many comments about how natural Andrea was in her role as story teller, they would defiantly return for future shows.” “Yesterday I had the opportunity to watch Andrea Darvill doing her storytelling. She was brilliant”. |

Please pass on my thanks to your staff and the cast.” “We thoroughly enjoyed your show (Splat!) during Arts Festival. It is a great show and I think it would have been great for our upper primary to see it.” |
