"From
beginning to end, Theatre Three's cast captured and kept the
interest and attention of their young audience. I especially
enjoyed watching the children's expressions as they danced,
sang, gasped, and smiled in their seats."
- Joann Bousquet, Executive Director, Hi-Hello Child Care
Center, Freeport, NY
"THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT was a delightful presentation
that kept children and adults alike entertained and involved
from start to finish. This fast-paced performance used music and
clever humor to put a new spin on old favorites and create a
memorable experience for the audience. The talented cast gave
their all and exuded a joy and enthusiasm that was contagious.
Thank you for giving the gift of live theatre to children who
might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience it."

crying. . . ."

What an outstanding performance. . . . The silence at the end of

extending into their local communities. Thank you."

AND
THESE, OUR FRIENDS
A
SAFE-DRIVING PLAY
THEATRE THREE proudly presents a
re-envisioned version of its very successful anti-DWI play, AND
THESE, OUR FRIENDS.
This is the story of Sheila and her four friends, Nicky,
Allison, Casey, and Janelle. They are all high school seniors
who must make the same choices that millions of young people
must make each time they get into a car, and each time they
drive (or allow someone else to get behind the wheel). In the
midst of their day-to-day lives, the death of a student in a DWI-related
crash affects them each in a different way.
The ultimate aim of the play, past and present, is to incite not
only thought, but feeling. If we are to deal with this
problem, it will be through rational appeal and not through
threats, shock, preaching, or violence.
If the problem lies within our young, people, so does the
solution.

TESTIMONIALS
"Thank you
all for the invaluable message that was given to us through your
performance. AND THESE, OUR FRIENDS was the most effective,
positive educational tool concerning DWI that I have ever seen!
Thank you."
- Carol Newton Eberlein, District Health Coordinator, Rocky
Point Schools, Rocky Point, NY
"Few words
can describe how wonderfully the performance . . . was
experienced by our high school. . . . The reaction from the
students and faculty alike supported my theory that they would
consider your presentation to be among the best tools available
dealing with alcohol use and abuse."
-Louise Paruolo, C.S.W., Social Worker, Harborfields H.S.,
Greenlawn, NY
"Your two
performances . . . were absolutely spellbinding. The creativity
. . . the credibility of the characterizations and the diversity
of points of view that were depicted on our stage can be
described as no less than brilliant. . . ."
- Gilda Candela, Guidance Counselor/SADD Advisor, Comsewogue H.S.,
Port Jefferson Sta., NY
"We have
had many different assemblies to encourage students not to drink
and drive, but this had to be the most effective. The content of
the play and the performance were so well done that the students
could not have failed to be affected by the message. Throughout
the performance, the students were riveted to the people on
stage, and I could sense how deeply involved they were with the
situation presented. . . . I have faith that your performance
will save lives. . . ."
- Richard Volo, Assistant Principal, Earl L. Vandermeulen H.S.,
Port Jefferson, NY
"Your
production of AND THESE, OUR FRIENDS was masterfully performed
through its simplicity and hard-core reality. Satirically
presented by a dedicated staff, AND THESE, OUR FRIENDS
captivated the vulnerability and interest of the students. The
stillness of the audience echoed their sensitivity which
resounced in some very provocative discussion. . . . It is
without a doubt that this production left an indelible
impression. . . ."
- Alice Anderson, C.S.W., Division Avenue H.S., Levittown, NY
