"I wanted to send you an email to thank you so much for bringing your �Get Stuffed�
opera to Indian Road. I know I speak for all the staff and students when I say that the
opera was FANTASTIC�.enjoyable, entertaining, and educational. The duration was
perfect and I could tell the students were engaged and never bored. Thanks to you, the
cast, and the production crew for doing your pilot at our school. It is much appreciated."
- Janice Chung, Principal, Indian Road Crescent Public School
"Great show! The visuals (costumes and props) changed often enough to keep my Grade
Ones interest sustained. Humorous for students and for teachers! Food examples were
lifelike and multicultural. Excellent 10+"
- Grade 1 teacher Rose Avenue School
"I thought the balance of time spent on performance, conveying information and answering questions was excellent and the show appealed to the whole elementary age group."
- Parent, Garden Avenue Public School
"Kids were engaged from the get-go. This is important because if they weren't they wouldn't be interested in the subject at hand. WIM addressed challenges that my students face every day. This gave them an outlet to discuss their fears without making it personal to them.
You have a great troop! The actors/leaders were engaging, and got the kids engaged.
Everyone knew what their role was, and worked with any issues that came about. Congratulations!
You did a wonderful job. I would welcome WIM back ANYTIME! Thanks for the great experience,
from myself, and all of my students."
- Essex School, February 2011, Helena Cappel, Grade 3 teacher
"Right on target. The children were especially impressed by the ability of the actors to take on different roles so quickly. They noticed how the father changed his mind about the value of music! Great discussion starter."
- Grade 1 teacher, The Mabin School
"Would also love to see Junior students see this performance. It touches on issues of tolerance and respect and broadens cultural understanding."
- Grade 3 teacher, Firgrove Public School
"Grade 6 students, initially hesitant about whether the story would be too young for them, were glad they attended. They found it humorous and entertaining. They enjoyed participating as a conductor and seeing their teacher do the same. Similes in the story were a great connection to our study of descriptive language. It left them excited about which instrument they may choose next year in band. Thank you!"
