I’ve had contact with amateur dramatics for many years, and I soon thought that this production of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST was one of the best and most endearing I’ve seen. Oscar Wilde’s dialogue is often very entertaining, and his play is nicely constructed; but that’s not what mainly captivated me.
What first caught me was the warmth that came off the stage. It was a warmth that is generated by amateurs who are doing their very best, who take pleasure in walking the boards, and who are strongly prompted by a wish for things to go well.
I was then captivated by the sheer quality of what I was seeing and hearing.
I thought the acting very good, and I much appreciated the seamless way that cues, movements and gestures were carried out. Fine directing. And all you actors were word-perfect!
And what an economical but excellent set, what suitable but unobtrusive music, and what fine lighting. I even enjoyed the neat way sets were changed between acts.
But, unlike the case in many professional productions, in which these things are so well done that they seem almost mechanical, that evening I was always conscious of the freshness that only a fine amateur production can generate.
I take my hat off to you cast and crew, including those of you who saw to things like publicity, prompting, the sale of tickets, the marking of seats, and the opening of doors on time. All that work, all those many hours of rehearsing, and all for the fun of it. Remarkable.
In an often shady world, you folk cast a beam, and gave many people a great deal of pleasure. It is all much appreciated! |

Thank you for a perfectly wonderful show! I came in from the Golan Heights to accompany my Mother, Millie Rosenblatt, who is a long time supporter of HET to THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST.
It was worth every kilometer of the drive to be so utterly entertained by such a wonderful cast of actors and actresses presenting this witty and wonderful play with such ease and clarity! Each and everyone of you were just great, wonderfully cast and as a result, presented a perfectly balanced production.
I know that all of you--the production crew, the actors, the stage crew, the publicity staff--volunteer your time because of your passion for the theatre. I want you to know that your efforts are deeply appreciated!
May you all go from strength to strength and continue to delight audiences with your talents! I look forward to your next show! |

You guys were really terrific in THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST--wonderful and at home on stage. Syl, you played it aristocratically, and Yossi, your facial and hand expressions were fabulous. Enjoyed! |

How could I not enjoy THE IRREGULAR VERB TO LOVE?! For an English teacher such as myself, who is not a native speaker, the performance was like a shot of pure glucose straight into the vein… in the positive sense! |
