Hi Glenn and Donnie,
 
I wanted to let you both know I have watched the video of your production of THRILL ME and I thought it was excellent.
 
It is amazing what you were able to create in such a small space.
 
Some of the things I always brace myself for, such as the music being played too fast, were wonderfully not there! I would say the tempos were spot on perfect!
 
The actors created very clear and distinct characters (you would be surprised what I have seen in the past!), and I think they both did a great job and had nice chemistry.
 
There have been small and large productions of THRILL ME over the past five years, and as far as the smaller "black-box" versions go, I would say yours ranks as one of the VERY BEST.
 
As a writer, it was gratifying to see my intentions clearly up there on your stage (again, you would be SHOCKED at some of the versions I have seen that were less than one would like them to be!)
 
Thank you again for your belief in THRILL ME - my, god - even through a HURRICANE!  
 
I hope the theatre gods bring us all together again someday.
 
Best regards,
Stephen
