Testimonials
'Working with The Gale Theatre Company was
a dream come true for me. I had the pleasure of working with professionals
from both sides of the Atlantic. I was well looked after; from the
producer to the stage management, everyone treated us with integrity.
The Bajan people were wonderful and generous and I fell in love
with the island so much so that I cried all the way back home! If
I was to receive another offer of work from The Gale Theatre of
London and Barbados, I would not hesitate to accept.'
Lorna Gayle ( Madame Arcati )
'Working with Gale Theatre was a great step
in achieving my dream of working as a professional actor in Barbados.
I was treated professionally, paid consistently, knew how much I
would be paid, and performed at home in front of a home audience.
And they said it couldn't be done!'
Ayesha Gibson ( The Maid )
'Having spent near 15 years in a struggling
theatre scene in Barbados, it was greatly rewarding to work with
GALE Theare at the very highest level of professionalism. The experince
of being part of "a wonderfully directed, casted and produced
"Blithe Spirit" rejuvenated the "bug" and I
look forward to working more and more with the GALE team. It was
challenging, rewarding, educating and most of all fun, everything
it should be.'
Samud Ali ( Dr Bradman )
'As a globe-trotting director, the opportunity
to enhance 'Blithe Spirit' with the joyful yet surreal ingredients
of the Caribbean proved irresistible. My thanks to Melissa Simmonds
for tracking me down and persuading me to direct for Gale and to
all those who gave their passions and skills for making the production
such an unforgettable success.'
Glen Walford (Director www.glenwalford.com)
'The 2007 Gale Workshop was very enjoyable.
We learned games that help with your voice projection and we also
learned how to present yourself to the best advantage. I think the
lessons were helpful for everyday life as well as performing'
Tonya Bartlett. (16 years old)
'The workshops and rehearsals were good for
me because they showed me some of my weak points and helped me to
focus on them without making me feel like less of a performer. I
like the way Ian takes his time with everyone and was fun and informative
at the same time'
Levi King
'The Gale Theatre Company reinforced within
me that you never stop learning in theatre. Ian's personality and
knowledge were greatly appreciated. The exercises were fun and educational
and will help me with my class this coming September. If the workshops
are ever back in Barbados, I would definitely encourage any young
person interested in theatre to attend'
