"There is no better feeling in the entire world than knowing you have changed someone’s life, and nor. mal: gave all of us this experience. Words don’t describe being a part of it. It was simply amazing."
~ Jessica Ryan, “Polly” in the first high school cast of  nor.mal:


"As a wrestling coach and health educator for 16 years and having a very diverse background with a variety of different eating disorders I felt this hour and a half that I spent with my 7 year old son watching had the most powerful message possible… a creative and enjoyable way to present a tough topic to a tough audience."   
~Louis Brown, Physical Education Teacher, Franklin High School


"I experienced the most powerful 75 minutes of my life. My eyes were wet, my heart was racing and I had been touched in so many ways by this performance. I enjoyed the music; I laughed at the humorous moments, but was totally amazed at both the message and the delivery."
~Parent of Greendale High School student.
