Product reviews for Freedom Riders

"`Freedom Riders' is an excellent play. It is flexible in choosing characters. Rather than casting four characters, I cast each role separately. This made the workload easy for each student. It also dealt with sensitive issues in a positive light. It was definitely a crowd pleaser. Our principal, who lived through the Civil Rights Movement, had tears of joy after this performance. This play touched hearts and got the students' attentions as well." -- H.H., Jonesboro-Hodge High School, Jonesboro, LA

"`Freedom Riders' is a great production for Black History Month, which is why our school chose it. It introduces the performers and audience members to so many important figures from the Civil Rights movement. The way the play/narration flashes back and forward in time is challenging, but our actors really enjoyed meeting that challenge, and the audience completely understood what was going on. Our audiences loved this program. We had several church groups attend and they really praised the performance. Our teachers and students loved the program so much we had to add two more performances!" -- West Brunswick High School, Shallotte, NC
