"This is powerful stuff." - John Yeager, Kiro7 News
| "The
Tribes Project takes a bold step... that results in some
of the most powerful theatre I have ever witnessed.
The
honesty, wisdom and professionalism of this group of students
were more than merely impressive." - Seattle Mayor Paul Schell |
 |
"You have transformed
our VIEW of the World
and each other!"
- Mary Turner, Phi Theta Kappa
President, South Seattle Community College
"Many
thanks to you, for sharing this opportunity
with the youth in custody at Echo Glen. Many of the residents continued
to discuss the issues well after the presentation, challenging others
and their own beliefs."
-
Patti Berntsen, Associate Superintendent Echo Glen Children's Center

"Our
employees have spoken glowingly of your bold
vision and creativity." "The
audience was clearly moved by the intensity of the
performance and it was obvious that for much of the cast this
was a more than memorable experience. Some
of these young women and men will mark this as an important
turning point in their lives." |
| "The
message is clear:
the
actors in the Tribes Project want to tell their tale. Each individual
actor contributes to the entire package, using his or her own
personal experiences to enrich the creative process. The
end result is a powerful and emotionally hard hitting dramatic
assemblage that blasts through to the hot core of the issues."
- Crystal Helms, The Mirror |
 |
"It
was awesome."
- Joy Richards, Wapato High School Senior
"Although
the final product was the
best high school performance I have seen
in my years as a high school teacher, its more important to note
the project's success at encouraging at-risk students to become involved
in a school based project."
- Max Silverman, Ballard High School Teacher
-
Marsha King, The Seattle Times
|
"I
believe compassion is the key to the survival of the human race.
Your
work brings us closer to our best selves by dispelling
ignorance."
"Great
student presence, creative script, and a powerful message! We
hope that the project continues and that you receive all the
support you need to take the presentations far and wide."

"Since
the performance, I’ve been viewing teens with a different lens, one
with more respect for their abilities and their special place in society.
… I have no doubt that these kids will become - have become - far
better citizens of the world as a result of this experience.
Powerful stuff!"
- Kevin C. Jones, 1999 audience member
