AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

"Bill W. & Dr. Bob was an amazing production. It touched each one of us in a different way. The inspiration and strength gained from the presentation of this story was immeasurable. We all felt a deeper connection for having shared the experience of this play. The actors were wonderfully cast and the simplicity of the scenary and props allowed for us to fully concentrate on the story. It was a marvelous outing! Thank you."

"I saw the play on March 2nd. Not only was the play moving and insightful, Dr. Bob and Bill W. is a great comedy as well..a must see for anyone who has experienced alcoholism in their family or on a personal level..a must see for all." -Mike

"I loved it. It was amazingly powerful and on point! I am an AA history buff and the scenes they chose to tell AA’s story were perfect. You could even see Alanon starting to form among the women. I loved how you saw their story too, which deserves to be known more. The actors and actresses characters really developed strongly. I really felt like I was there. I must have had tears running down my cheeks four or five times. My family went too, who are not alcoholics and they loved it as well! It was an incredible experience- Thank You! P.S. We didn’t have time to stay after to talk to cast as we had to rush to dinner reservations, although we really wanted to express our gratitude and tell them how great of a job they did!!" -Scott

"I saw the play on Sat 2/17 for the 2pm matinee, for me it was a real treat, that day was my 18th year sober, and I couldn't think of a better place than to be in NYC to see BillW and Dr Bob come to life.

I was in Akron last June for Founders Day, and visited Dr Bobs home, I sat in the kitchen at the table and had a pretend cup of coffee with a few of my friends, that went with me...

The play was spectacular, and I plan on seeing it again, The typical Alcoholic thinking, IF ONE IS GOOD, TWO IS BETTER...

Again Fantastic job!" --Tobe

"The actors were extraordinarily powerful & insightful about our fellowship & traditions. The play was beyond EVERYONE's expectations! The authors/ director/cast were all in the talk-back-which was excellent! We were all high on life when getting back on the bus at 5:30pm- my throat & eyes are swelling up -I think from overuse or abuse today! Love & Mucho Gratias!!!!!!!!!!, SJersey Gypsies Ginger."--Lots of Love & Laughter, Ginger F. & Ron B.

"I attended the first preview performance last night in New York and remained after to talk with the cast, director and playwrites. As a member of AA, I want to thank you all. It was wonderful and truly reached into my soul. Hopefully your dream will come true in that many more will attend - especially non-members. There is still such a stigma associated with being an alcoholic and maybe, just maybe this will be one more chance for all to understand this disease. Congratulations." --Linda KK

"I knew those guys, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith. They'd come to the house a lot after that first meeting and I used to hear them talk all the time--and that was the way they were. You two (actors) really captured them! You did a terrific job of bringing them to life, and bringing back that time!" --John Sieberling, speaking after a performance of Bill W. and Dr. Bob held at Stan Hywet Hall on June 9, 2006. John is the son of Henrietta Sieberling the woman who arranged the first meeting between Bill W. and Dr. Bob,in the gatehouse of Stan Hywet Hall, Akron, Ohio, on May 12,1935.

"What a blessing it is to be a volunteer usher at New Rep, because of this I was able to see the play in watertown.I also got to see it at the Natick Center for the Arts in the previous year.Wow, what growth! Also because I've been sober for almost 8 years I've been able to do this, and am so greatful to Bill and Bob for the program and fellowship. Excellent!!!"

"This isn't just a great play, it's a phenomenon!" -Deborah G.

"The play breaks down the barrier between Alcoholics Anonymous and the rest of the world. It shows what it's really about." -Kenneth N.
