Compliment: In One ERA

David and Serena,

Thank you again for the 3 superb performances of "In One Era and Out the Other." I was impressed with the fast pace and high energy of the show and the fact that it was steady throughout all three performances in the same day. WOW! Facts and history can sometimes be boring, but certainly not in this show! The variety and selection of visuals along with the dynamics of the music and the tremendous voice of Serena Ebhardt drew in the audience making them want more. The play on words, the humorous, the fun, the famous, the sad and the tragic were all presented like the kaleidoscope that is our history. I felt like I was watching and listening to an up-to-minute broadcast of a hundred years of history as it was happening.

The JROTC instructor, Major Beaulieu, whom you met, asked his 22 cadets how they liked the show--thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs sideways. He got 22 thumbs up. I'm sure the patriotic overtones of the show also struck a chord with this group. All the faculty and students I spoke with about the show really enjoyed it not only for the entertainment value, but also for the educational value.

I've enjoyed working with EbzB Productions over the years and appreciate the quality and professionalism of all your productions. Plus, you are just delightful folks to work with. I especially enjoyed meeting your son this time. He's an extraordinary young man. All the best to all of you, Jenny Johnson
