Here are a few comments we've gotten from our audience members, performers, and people in general:

"...thank you for allowing me to be part of this project. I've been challenged as an actor, and so I feel I have grown as an actor."
-Jamil Mena

Hello Ms. Varvarides,
I need to congratulate you on your latest incarnation. You have such a strong talent for giving the characters you create a specific, detailed existence. That includes Crying Out Loud, and Good Morning I Love You.
I'm amazed at how you can create a character regardless of gender or age and make them so believable, relevant, and not a cliché.
This is why I enjoyed working on Crying Out Loud. Michael was so multi-layered that I don't think I even scratched the surface of his existence.
Good job last night. I thought the video at the beginning was a wonderful choice.
Take care.
Your Groupie,
-Marty Grillo

"I adore this play (The Almost & The Nothing) and I think you are brilliant. I can't even believe how much I am learning from you, and I will never be able to adequately express my appreciation and enthusiasm."
-Elena Zazanis, performer, The Almost & The Nothing

"Your belief in me has helped me to carry on this dream of being an actor, Lennie. You are a true and genuine teacher. Words cannot express my utter thanks and sincere gratitude."
-Amy Hoerler, performer and co-found

Hello,
I did not get the chance to tell you how much I enjoyed working with you. Don't get a swelled head, but I think you are very talented. I look forward to the chance of working with you again. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me work by your side. You are a wonderful person.
-David Margulis, performer, The Almost & The Nothing

hi,
i didn't answer your question the other day because i wanted to consider it. i had not had a lot of time to build up some preconceived notion the evening of the sho. i was interested in your ideas and who can escape the lure of a maiden in distress (especialy when she has such a lovely british accent). Well i guess the theatre and crowd were a little smaller than i had thought they might be but the show was better. in the end it is the weight of the work that is important so i would have to say that it was everything that i had expected.

Lennie!
I love musicals and I think (though maybe just me) it was a great idea to have unexpected numbers! The subtlety of simple sounds to accommodate the vocals was a nice touch, too -- i.e. the sweeping of the broom in between beats. I also like the idea that most of the characters are only visible to the audience. The only thing I don't quite understand is the short film in the beginning -- when you have time, can you explain how that sets the narrative? It may not be necessary(?). Just curious: can the story be even darker and more twisted? If you can apply something like that in the story it might take it to another level of ethical disruption.
Cheers,
-Eugene Lee
