wonderfully greeted by the audience. His talent and her voice teamed up for a
winning evening. ' The following are quotes from sponsors of Comfort Theatre shows as taken from evaluation forms, letters and e-mails over the past decade: "East of Westreville is a Great show with wonderful instrumental work and incredible vocals! Onstage they were very professional and their music was very well received by our audience." --Canton "Always... Patsy Cline was excellent! There was a lot of conversation among the attendees about the top quality of the program. It made Sioux Falls and all involved proud to be able to present a program of this quality." --Sioux Falls "East of Westreville was great! The quality of the performance was superb. They catered to our audience and really involved them. The members were very easy to work with, undemanding and flexible. They were here early to do setup and sound checks. They are true professionals. It was a fabulous way to end our Rural Life Celebration." --Colton "Comfort Theatre performances are always excellent and professional. The audience loved them! We've worked with them before and we'll do it again and again. --Sioux Falls "Everyone here was THRILLED... Thanks for a great show!
The staff here also felt the experience was a good one; it's nice to work with
people who understand theatre!" --Des Moines “This was an excellent program. It’s going to be tough to find entertainment of this quality and caliber in the future. It was very professional. Many people came to see the show for a second time. Very well done!” --Tyndall “We sold over 400 advanced tickets with word of mouth publicity only. The response was great! The program was professionally done by both the company and the band. We would not have been able to have this activity without the grant money. Thank you so much.” --Canton “The show was outstanding. Kaija and Jill are very talented. So much so that many asked where they were from… like SD couldn’t have such talented folks in it. Show was perfect for the audience.” --Deadwood “The program was excellent. I have not had one negative comment—and that’s a first. Ms. Bonde’s voice is exceptional and Jill Pillar stole the show. Our theatre was sold out and everyone there was very happily entertained. There wasn’t one dead spot in the show.” --Flandreau “The program was well received. Those attending were enthusiastic in their praise of the program. The community appreciates that shows of this quality are available to be presented in our rural communities. Without grants, it would be much more difficult.” --Parker “This was, by far, the best. The audience was overwhelmed, and the artists were a dream come true. Truly, truly fabulous!” --Yankton “This was the best response we’ve ever had. Brian Bonde was very helpful with lighting and sound for the entire program (not just their portion), which was greatly appreciated. The response was so positive we went over our attendance goal very quickly and completely filled the room.” --Sioux Falls “The company was excellent to work within all aspects of the touring production. There was excellent response from all ages attending. A very good experience overall.” --Aberdeen “We were thrilled with the production and none of us have heard one comment that wasn’t exuberant. Everyone loved it!! Several people thanked us for bringing them to town. This is an energetic, quality show.” --Vermillion “Excellent show—response from the community was only positive response. It was a very crowd-pleasing performance. The Comfort Theatre staff is very great to work with. This program was well worth the investment.” --Sisseton “This program brought a whole different exposure of art and theater to many, many people in our community. It was a great success for our community and the arts in our area.” --Brandon “They are fun to work with and the audience was very responsive and appreciative both nights.” --Flandreau “The audience was entertained from beginning to end. The audience was mesmerized by the performance of both actors. The comments received were very positive. I would highly recommend the production.” --Madison “This show sells itself—after each performance the word gets around about how good it is. The people in the community were very happy we brought the show out—we have not had anything like this before out here.” --Humboldt “This was a fantastic event. It was well conducted and brilliantly performed. I know the audience enjoyed their performances very much. Thank you!” --Rapid City “The performance was wonderful!! The Comfort Theatre was easy to work with… five star performance!” --Watertown “The show was a complete sell-out—we could have sold many more tickets. The superb performance was well received in the community.

Everyone really enjoyed the evening. Music and comedy were top-drawer!” --Sturgis “Working with this entire group was a treat. They are professional and funny and great to have in our town. I look forward to their nest production and can’t wait to bring them back year after year!” --Lead “It was a great program. We are trying to build interest in the arts in our community. Because of this event, a donor came forward and donated $4000 to the school piano fund.” --Lennox “The show was outstanding. People are still raving about it and want to see it again. Their tech staff even had helpful hints for our next community musical. The show and cast again were fantastic!” --Centerville “What a great show!” --Tea “Excellent!!” --Pierre"Thanks, again for a great show. I regret that I didn't get to see Kaija on Sunday after the show, but thank her for me. She was in great form. Thank them all for me." --Des Moines “We were mesmerized by the professionalism and the quality of this production. The audience jumped to their feet throughout the entire performance.
