Letter from English in Action

Dear Paige and Colleen,

Thank you both for all of your help with English In Action’s outings to Theatre Aspen performances this year. Liz and I really appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Please also extend our thanks to the Theatre Aspen staff and Board for offering us discounted tickets. Your generosity in this regard has made a huge difference for us.

We loved seeing The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and A Year with Frog and Toad, and the opportunity to meet the actors afterwards. This is such a fun way to promote community integration and to foster the learning of our students. Theater is wonderful means of engaging our students with a wide range of English abilities. Even when they don’t understand all the words, they do understand the “emotions” the actors are able to convey. It has also been great to do an activity that includes our students’ children. One of our students this weekend told me that she really appreciated the chance to offer an experience to her children that she could not afford on her own.

Enjoy the rest of the summer season!

Best wishes,
Lara

Letter from Jeannie Walla

John and I attended "Chapter Two" last night and loved it. Laughed till we cried, then cried till we laughed. The acting was marvelous, across the board, which means the direction was fantastic. Loved the updates, too. Please share my thanks for the actors and Jay for a delightful evening of theatre.
