2nd YEAR STUDENTS IN ACTING CREATIVE INDUSTRIES AT QUT:
 
Dear Fr. Ion, Maria and all the congregation,
Thank you for your support, generosity and kind words. It has been a huge honour and a privilege for us to learn about and tell your people's stories.
The process of putting up this show of "Mad Forest" has been fast and fascinating and yes, a little mad, but having you all in the audience and then speaking with you afterwards and getting to experience how powerful theatre can be when it intersects with real life and means so much to our audience as well as to us has been the most impacting and beautiful thing. I'm so grateful to have shared this experience with all of you and wish you all the best,
Many thanks,
Maeve
 
It is a rare and wondrous privilege to have experienced the true power of theatre in such an early stage of our careers (or at all, for that matter), and so each and every one of us are more than lucky in that regard. It was an absolute honour to both journey through this as well as have you in our audience. 
Sincerely,
Michael

Father Ion and your delightful congregation,
I cannot begin to thank you for your generosity, for letting us experience a part of your rich culture, for speaking to us with passion and listening to us with patience. My experience in your church was truly remarkable and I will never forget the kindness and acceptance I was shown by your congregation. It has been more than my pleasure to meet you all and hear your stories, we could not have told this story the way we did without you. More than anything I want to thank you all for coming to watch the production. It was by far one of the experiences of my life performing for you all, I feel so privileged to have experienced something so powerful so early in my career. So thank you all, I will hold this experience and all of you close to my heart always. I have been truly touched by your strength, your love and your generosity and I hope we have made you proud and done this story some justice. I will continue to pray for the freedom of the Romanian people, we hope you know you are always welcome in our theatre. All love and light, 
Clementine

I truly cannot express how deeply grateful I and my whole cohort feel after being honoured with the presence of yourself and your congregation in the audience for what is truly a harrowing history and story of Romania. I can only hope we did the story justice. It was a most humbling experience knowing the people of Romania were with us and were there to support us in telling this story! My heart is full. Thank you for everything

Father Ion, Maria and the whole congregation, your kindness, generosity and spirit have made an immeasurable difference to the process of our production! As young artists living demanding lives among chaos it is easy to let everything pile on top of us and forget why we do what we do. Your presence and support have reminded us all of the power of theatre and storytelling, which is invaluable to a group of young actors. I feel reawakened and now I remember how I can personally contribute to the betterment of the world through what I do, which is the most important thing to me in life. Thank you all for being part of our journey and I pray we have have made you proud and done justice to Romania and the enduring struggle for freedom. Please feel free to come and see any of our shows, you are always welcome at QUT! 
Sincerely, 
Sisi

Thank you for showing us love, commitment, and benevolence. The QUT Actors are grateful for your support.

 Father Ion and congregation,
