Audience reactions


"On Behalf of the Danbury Area and Ridgefield branches of the AAUW, I would like to thank you for your portrayal of Susan B. Anthony at our public policy luncheon.  All who have spoken to me about the event were impressed with your research, your knowledge and your portrayal of Miss Anthony.  You held everyone's attention during the entire performance." S.R. Godward American Association of University Women  CT

"My wife and I would like to thank you for the wonderful presentation of your talk enacting Susan B. Anthony last Friday (10-3-08) in Concord.  Having gone to Oberlin and the University of Rochester we really knew quite a bit about her and you considerably expanded our knowledge.  Your presentation was a pleasure to see and hear.  Thank you." Ann and Chuck Winterling

"Thanks so much for your energy and enthusiasm while sharing Susan B. Anthony with our eighth graders yesterday......the students said that the history made sense to them after seeing it "in person."   Alison Levy -social studies teacher - Essex Middle School VT  (5-21-09)

"We had a wonderful event at the Rockport Elementary School last week (3-07).  As part of a LSTA grant, Sally Matson was hired to come and play the part of Susan B.Anthony as an introduction to a biography unit for fourth graders.  She is very believable, sends lots of curriculum materials well ahead of her visit, and spends time after the presentation taking questions from the children.  She is very respectful of the children, and does not talk down to them in her presentation......I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to hire in the area of history, biography, or elections and voting.  Her presentation is appropriate for 4-8."  Patricia Hussey, Librarian, Rockport Elementary School, MA

"What a splendid performance.  You captured so well the courage, determination and personality of this woman who gave all Americans so much." Ted Zalewski- SoloTogether founder

"I admire a woman like Miss Anthony who had to stand up to a lot of criticism.  That is a very fearful thing.  Even now I wish this program could get into all the schools.  Her message is one that still needs to be heard."  Ilene Kaplan, Avon Free Library show, CT

"So nice to hear from you.  Since your performance, I've run into a few of the women who attended and they can't say enough about how great you were.  Bravo!!!  T. K.- Program Planning   Time Warner, New York City

"People are still talking about your eloquent and incisive performance.  As a retired librarian I have a special respect for the research that must have preceded the creation of the role of Susan and her supporting cast. That you combined so much information in such an accessible and entertaining format is a great credit to your dedication and artistry. Thank you for a stimulating and provocative evening."  Betty Clark President- Friends of Cary Memorial Library  Lexington, MA

"Many thanks for your magnificent performance and gentle spirit."   Arthur Brisbane Child Treatment Center  Farmingdale, NJ

"My dear Ms. Matson: Earlier this afternoon I was fortunate enough to witness your presentation of Susan B. Anthony at the Pollard Library in Lowell.  I have attended other performances of a similar nature but your enactment left me speechless and that is putting it mildly. You were magnificent!  It could have been the result of the environment? NO It could have been the result of the subject matter? NO  It was the result of an exceptional communication with the audience.  It was a four star performance for which I thank you most sincerely."  Eugene Soulard

"You are the personification of her spirit. Your dress, your manner, your humor, your research, your obvious mission to spread hers, and your professional delivery all come together for a truly great performance."  Carol Devers, American Association of University Women, New Caanan, CT
