Thank YOU for a great production of ’69 SEASONS here at the Turnage Theatre this past Saturday. I think you have a great show on your hands that will be a vital part of EbzB’s roster for a long time to come.<\/p>\n
As the audience left the theatre, I heard lots of praise for the show. But what I really noticed were the visceral reactions – people who felt personally invested in that turbulent time and how your production brought a lot of those emotions back to the surface. I already told you about the one gentleman who left a few minutes early saying “That was a little too close to home. ” I didn’t really take that as a criticism though. It seemed to me that the show had struck a nerve, and depending on where you were in your life in 1969, the reactions will span accordingly. This person may have been a Vietnam Veteran, or had a relative who was in Vietnam.<\/p>\n
I loved the show. It was heavy, without being heavy-handed. But it also had its lighter moments which were important to keep that proper balance. The show looked wonderful on our stage – your use of projections were able to really place the actors and the various narrative threads in context to a specific place and time. For those who were coming of age and\/or lived through those times, it was a nostalgic show. For those who didn’t, it was a great history lesson. <\/p>\n
Please give my regards to the entire company of ’69 SEASONS. We so enjoyed hosting you at the Turnage!<\/p>\n

=====================================<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 1969, I was 21, a student, and a white female married to a black man. The decisions I made then have affected the rest of my life. Your show brought clarity and articulation to that time of turmoil. Thank you. It was wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n
