June 12 The Actorsingers production of CATS has now closed. It had successful runs in both Nashua (May) and Concord NH (June), and was enjoyed by THOUSANDS of people young and old. The following lovely email we received from a family that saw one of the Nashua performances pretty much sums up what many people experienced:

To: secretary@actorsingers.org
Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2006 9:21 PM
Subject: Please share with CATS cast!

Hello Actorsingers,

Thank-you so much for an amazing production of Cats! I had no Idea I would find a production of this caliber locally. I kept having to remind myself we were not at a production in Boston, or NY except we did not have to drive any distance, or pay $40 to park the car, or sit so far from the stage we couldn�t really see anything... so many thanks! I was also able to bring my daughter (4 years old) to her second theatrical experience, not break the bank, and have her see an exceptional performance. From the costumes, the staging and the dancing to the incredible singing! Wow the singing... what words to use, so many talented voices, all unique but beautiful in so many ways. I had goose bumps so many times during the performance... thanks again.

My daughter was mesmerized by the whole experience... imagine a 4 year old sitting through your whole performance, not a peep, the only movement from her was to look around the heads in front of us to get a better look... she grinned from ear to ear and clapped with gusto!! She loved it! She asked driving home in the car when the next "play" was that we were going to! Future ActorSinger member?... who knows!

I will be watching closely for future productions from your group, I only wish I had found you sooner!

Please enjoy the Photo, your cast was kind enough to pose with my daughter, it was the icing on the cake for her.

Sincerely and with great appreciation,

Robbie Wilson, and family,
Salem, NH

Thank you very much, Wilson Family, for your kind words and for sharing that charming photo!
