Dear Mr. Hudson:
Thank you for your consummate performance of "Poe Come to Life" at the Pikesville Library.
The audience loved your one man show and every single person who was asked for feedback gave you excellent ratings. I was particularly impressed by your masterly rendition of the Tell Tale Heart. We thoroughly enjoyed you! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Urban - Public Services Librarian Pikesville Library Baltimore County Public Library

“It was absolutely terrific! I laughed and I cried as I was completely absorbed into the story! WOW ~ I noticed a lot of students had attended. I hope they have been sparked with an interest in Poe, in drama, and in literature as a result of your performance.
We will look forward to Einstein some day!”
Sincerely,
Trine Grillo

“We were thrilled to have 55 students attend an afterschool program about Poe, followed by an evening program attended by a mixed audience of 75 folks, including parents, teens, and other adults! Duffy Hudson, the actor, did a great job of capturing the essence of Poe and I would highly recommend him as a performer.”
Jan D. Kaiser De Moines Public library

“We really enjoyed your performance! In fact, we had a patron write a letter to the editor about it to the Ottumwa Courier which is the first time someone has done that so you should feel honored. Thanks again.”
Mary Ann Lemon Ottumwa Public Library

“We definately want you back!! Many people who heard about your performance have begged me to have you back.!”
Ralph A. Swain, chair Humanities Division Western Iowa Tech Community College

“Thank YOU! You give a terrific performance, and I have to confess, there were a couple of times when I forgot you weren't really Poe! I will never read his stories or poems the same way. I have a new found appreciation!Elaine Reitz,Adult Services Librarian

“We had such rave reviews, and a very excited audience. I hope we can have you back next year! “
Emily Rohlfs, Director Keokuk Public Library

“Your performance was awesome! The audience believed that Poe himself was before them, relaying his heart-wrenching life tale and performing his dramatic pieces. Thanks so much for coming. Let me know when you develop a new character so we can have you back. Or perhaps Poe can revisit.”
Anne Neal Auberry Branch Librarian

“Your presentation was wonderful and we had so many positive comments from our patrons. Thanks again for your outstanding performance.”
Barbara Light Fresno Library Manager

“You did a wonderful job and I really felt as though you transported us back to Poe’s place and time. We would love to have you back.”
