My Nonprofit Reviews

A great director really knows the script and knows how to read between the text. Sam Ward is such a director. I had the opportuinity to be cast not once but twice as Juliette in "I Have Before Me A Remarkable Document Given To Me By A Young Lady From Rwanda". I was fortunate to work with Sam because he knew the play so well and helped me to learn it too. Sam and Sharon Henderson gave me the chance to shape my character into a fleshed-out human being with hopes, dreams and deep emotions. I had a wonderful time working with Sam and the rest of the crew for my first play with allforOne productions. Sam had a very interesting show technically as well. When I played the role the second time, it was not as technically sound aas Sam's. These are comments from other people. For instance, the lighting was too dark in some places where the actors' faces were in shadow and the ending of the play was misunderstood by the director who changed the ending when Juliette throws the paper on the floor. Juliette really comes into her own by the play's end and for Lauren to take this out was an oversight. I had a great time showing who Juliette is to all those who came to see the play. Kudos to allforOne for bringing it back a second time. allforOne is an important voice in the Ft. Wayne community.
