"The Theater workshop organized around Albertine en Cinq temps [was] a fun... teaching experience for students and teacher alike. It is a great opportunity to do something different with a class and expand the students’ knowledge of literature while sharpening their language skills. The material provided by La Chandelle Verte (text of the play with language & biographical notes) was a great help in achieving these goals, [giving] the class a feeling of familiarity with both the character and the language portrayed in the play, as well as a curiosity for the way it could be put on stage. "

"The workshop itself achieved something that is really hard to elicit in the classroom: it gave the students true pleasure to act in French while teaching them a few things about theater, and maybe about themselves. The whole group came to the performance afterwards and was very pleased with understanding not only the general plot, but actual parts of the text in depth, for having worked on them both in class and during the workshop. All in all, a very pleasant and effective way of initiating students to the joys (and problematics) of the modern stage."

--Olivier Berthe, French Language Lecturer , New York University

"The workshop on the short text by Ionesco, given on a Friday afternoon, was an exhilarating way to end the week. The troupe worked individually with the student participants to help them discover emotional nuances in the text as well as movements and gestures to express these emotions. Our French students were delighted to have an acting workshop designed specifically for them."

--Mary Anne O'Neil, Professor of Foreign Languages & Literatures, Whitman College

"The workshop you ran for my students complemented the production nicely. In an hour and a half of theatrical interpretation, you were able to bring out sides of my students that I have never seen, even though I have known most of them for several years. After the performance, they remarked on how surprised they were to see the scene that they worked on presented in a wholly different manner during the performance, which was, of course, one of the points of the workshop itself."

--Diane Kelley, Assistant Professor of French, University of Puget Sound

"I never thought I could ever be a cow. I am not a cow lover but after attending the workshop for the 'Ionesco' play, I now have a new appreciation for cows! This is just the cusp of what I have gained by participating in this workshop. I have learned with profound amazement that anyone, regardless of being severely shy, can act. I jumped, I yelped, I pounded my fist all while expressing a side of myself that would never dare to come out, but it did, at this exhilarating workshop! Anyone who says they can't act better think twice before they give themselves up to 'The Workshop'. "

---Ashley Neil, Student at College of Saint Catherine
