Harriet's House: Audience Response

Harriet’s House was performed this past weekend and drew 450 people over its three-run performance. The response we got back from the audience was warm, supportive and exciting. We had an standing ovation on Friday night and two curtain calls on Sunday night. People were engaged by the story, resonated with the characters' experiences and wanted to know what happens to Harriet's family . They were also impressed by the cast's performances Here's a sample of what our audience wrote in our guest book:

"Excellent performance by all!"

"Very moving story."

"Lovely to see a play with an all female cast!"

"Hope to see many more."

I want to thank all the members of the artistic team for their commitment to the production and their professionalism.

A special thank you needs to go out Jocelyn Wickett whose directorial vision and work with the actors was a major force behind the warmth and heart of Harriet’s House.

A second special thank you needs to go out to Louise Cowin who hosted our opening night reception in the glamorous Hart House Theatre lobby. The reception gave us all an opportunity to connect with our audience and to celebrate our accomplishment with them.

A third special thank you goes out to Carl Goldstein who became the publicist of Harriet’s House at the end of June and helped Monica Nunes and I promote our production in ways we hadn't thought of before.

Finally, a fourth special thank goes out to Mark and Alix Feldman and Richard Goldstein for their generous contributions to this production of Harriet’s House.

It takes many, many people to mount a play and Gailey Road Productions has been blessed with supporters.

All the best,
Tara
