The following are audience member reactions taken from a feedback survey handed out at the end of each performance:
"Unexpectedly, the experience of Surrender has changed me…For me, participating in Surrender was a brief foray into the unimaginable. Thank you so much, again, and thanks to Josh and the whole cast for an unbelievable and stunning experience."
"My best friend is a Sergeant in the USMC currently serving in Iraq. This entire act was very emotional but gave me hope. Thank you."
"My heart was pounding, especially in the Humvee. My hands were shaking from holding my rifle but I felt like I couldn't put it down because it was so real, and if I took my eyes off my target, something would happen. My brother is being deployed next month for his 3rd tour of Iraq so this was very eye opening. I can never know what he has gone through while in the army but this gave me a little taste."
"Beautiful! The epitome of thought-provoking theater. Audiences have no choice but to do something about this reality."
"I'm numb- frightening – overwhelming- found tears in my eyes though I wasn't aware I was crying."
"Mesmerizing. Amazing how the participants embraced their roles. Made me realize how scary it would be to be drafted."
"Awesome. Fucking awesome. I didn't want act 2 to end. [In Act III], I began to understand what people in the military go through."
"This completely changes my idea of what theater could be. I want to do it again. I am in awe."
"Most incredible piece of theater I've ever seen. How are they actors?"
"I can't think of a more effective audience interaction in a performance I was brought to tears by audience members. Amazing."
"All f-cking amazing! I'm sorry for the few words. I'm still a bit speechless." " I thought the training was pretty g-damn realistic. I have a friend going to West Pointe and I finally have a tiny fraction of an idea of what he is going through. I've never been so g-ddamn sweaty at a performance in my life. Thank you. I was alternately terrified, exciting, appalled, turned on, etc. Brilliant."
"I can't describe this act [three]. I can only say it is going to inspire me for months to come. Thank you."
"F-cking scary. Felt genuine. I felt like crying several times – wanted to comfort civilians – did not want to kill anyone – that felt strange but necessary on account of the circumstances. Whoa."
"This experience was so real. I felt like a soldier. I was nervous, anxious, and felt alive…The most amazing experience I've ever had in a theater. This was heart-breaking, gut-wrenching, emotionally driven. Beautifully choreographed and staged." |
