	"I am a supporter of Tabard Theater because of the unique blend of professionalism, humility, and excitement that surrounds each show Tabard produces. The people, the costumes the atmosphere- alone or with a friend--I always feel welcomed."

	"The intimacy of the audience with the actors is very special, and so are you. "

	"In these stressful times, performance art is therapeutic and cathartic and healthy. Thank you for all that you do to provide these plays."

	"INSTEAD OF "CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!", IT'S "TABARD, TAKE ME AWAY!", when I want to get away from everything, especially my mind. Your productions are so wonderful, they are almost like a mini-vacation!"

	"The actors were amazing, the dialogue sparkled and the singing was a bonus. I am very impressed with your ability to find such good talent."

	"Just to tell you what a great time! We were all like a bunch of little kids all the way home talking about all the ways everyone made it all happen so WONDERFULLY. You all had such terrific expressions about every situation, fantastic music and the acting was just superb. My toes never stopped from the first note to the last. THANK YOU...."

	"The productions are very professionally done. We have enjoyed all of the shows so far. I feel confident that I could invite friends and family to any of the shows and not worry about any thing offensive being in the program. Keep up the good work."

	"A fun time guaranteed for all. You always leave the show with a smile on your face."

	"Delightfully engaging"

	"I've enjoyed every performance I've seen. It's like a family reunion now, recognizing performers and enjoying their new roles and productions. The performers seem to enjoy performing with each other. It translates very well to the audience. I like the diversity of plays that have been selected. I like the little bits which involve the audience — including a member of the audience in a bit part, the auctions, the artistic directors' introductions. I think the artistic director is outstanding."

	"Tabard's shows are fresh and lively. I enjoy sensing the camaraderie among the cast and the feelings of good fellowship."

	"Tabard Theatre productions are always delightfully refreshing, with a spontaneity that makes us laugh out loud, stimulating the audiences, and revitalizing the soul. Feel the joy!"

	"I just want the community to know what first-class family fare Tabard brings to the Valley. We can always be assured of good-spirited, imaginative, professional entertainment at an affordable price — a joy for the whole family. There is nothing like good live theatre!"

	"We want to tell you why we are eager to get season tickets: We can trust that the plays Tabard chooses will not only be presented by excellent actors, but will be entertaining and uplifting as well."
