AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

FEEDBACK

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Dionysus Theatre:

I want to thank you for the hard work you are doing to break down barriers between us and the able-bodied community. I was in the audience at your performance at the ACBT Conference in Houston last night and I have never seen or heard anything portraying people with disabilities so moving and powerful as your performance. I stand in awe of you all and appreciate each of you for all the work you put into the performances. I know that you are living the ideals you portray in the performances every day and I am so proud of you for that. I am blind and if I had had an opportunity like you have in Dionysus when I was young, my life would have probably been so much richer for the experience and positive contact with my own and the disabilities of others. God bless you all. Thank you. I will never forget your songs and the passion you demonstrated for us last night.

What the audience said about "THE BOYS NEXT DOOR"

Casting 4 young men with challenges - as the play was written - could have been a risk - but NOT for Dionysus Theatre.

Here are some of our audience reviews:

"Terrific performance. I saw this play 20 years ago at the Alley Theatre. I enjoyed the Dionysus performance so much more! Thank you for this gift to the community"
- Scottie H.

"As entertaining as it was inspiring. Loved it!"

"The show made me laugh and cry. Everyone brought their own special touch to this show. Deb and her crew are unbelievable. Deb is a goddess of Theatre."
-Linda L.

"Excellent - Fabulous job. A great opportunity for others to view and enjoy. I will continue to be a fan of Dionysus Theatre."

"2 thumbs up, WAY WAY UP for Dionysus Theatre."

"An incredible show. I wish I could hang out with the boys next door! Such talent and heart."

"Fantastic show. The cast, incredible. Absolutely fantastic. Didn't know what to expect and it blew me away"

"Hands down, the best theater in Houston."

"Thanks for all you do for this community, Dionysus Theatre. The talent of these men and women is amazing"

"It was an amazing theatrical performance! It was hysterically funny, yet poignant and moving. We got to see into the souls of four youngmen who were challenged - but as we got to know them, we only saw them as men. It is a gift for people with disabilities and those who are without disabilities."
