Dear Mr. Robert Markowitz:


I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the pleasure of working with you in the Writer's Voice's first ever children's programming event. The 5 Day Play was a great success. The children were very excited by the opportunity to produce their own show. Parents were amazed at the ability of staff and children alike to pull the entire event off .They loved it and are requested more programming like it.
I would like to thank you in particular for your adaptability and willingness to work with the limitations of our program. You worked well with us in our efforts to add set design and costumes to the program. I realize it was distracting for you at times.
I was also impressed by your ability to adapt the play to the unexpected age limitations. The show is typically done by school age children and most of our cast consisted of four and five year olds. The show was a great success despite the tricky age limitations. Your reworking of the script and intercession saved the day.
Thank you again for your patience and cooperation

                

Sincerely,
FAITH GAERTNER
Director of the Writer's Voice
