Ali: From
the very first mention of Steel Town I knew that this was going to be something
different, something special. Every time after that there was more and more of a
buzz about it. From the students, the public, the production team and even
ex-steel workers. And why not? Steel Town is a new but true to life story that
has something for everyone.
Personally I had a great time being part of the show. I not only enjoyed the
performing but also the set construction the research the publicity and the
recording of the soundtrack. I think Steel Town has a bright future and if it is
as popular in Consett as it should and could be then who knows where the Ore
Trains will stop next!!

Walsh What more could you ask for,
great songs, great show, and the best cast. I've known the cast now for two
years and what a way to end it. The Customs House is a great venue and I
always enjoy my experiences there, but I can't wait to go to Consett. We
hope you'll enjoy it as much as us doing it.

Abid I thoroughly enjoyed playing
'Vicki Walker' in Steel Town and felt I could relate to her character a little.
Vicki was quite a strong-minded character, a lot like myself. I could understand
why she couldn't decide whether to stay or go. I'm glad we've been given the
chance to perform it again in Consett, and I'm sure people in Consett will
appreciate it with heart felt emotions, Roll on September at Consett Thanks,

Yorstan I enjoyed playing the part
of Annie in Steel Town as she is a fun character to play and got a lot of laughs
with her sidekick, Amanda, Gemma Dodd. I'm looking forward to playing Annie
again in Consett and hopefully they will like Annie as much as I liked playing
her.

Laura
Carr I really enjoyed being a part of Steel Town and playing the part of
Eve. Eve was a really interesting part to play even though she never really said
a lot and much preferred to keep herself to herself. I'm glad we have the chance
to perform Steel Town again in Consett and I'm sure the community there will
enjoy it just as much as the people in Tyneside did.

Wallace - Steel Town was an
excellent show with great music, great script and excellent cast. The heart
warming story about the Consett Steel Works last week before it's closure is one
of the best I have ever been involved with. With it being my first show at the
Customs House I could not have asked for a better group of people to work
with.

- I think Steel Town was a great success
in South Shields. I only hope it will be in Consett. I really enjoyed playing
the part of Val as she had great songs to sing. I enjoyed all of the rehearsals
they were a great laugh. Come and see it in Consett, it's worth it!

McKenna - I really enjoyed
rehearsing and performing Steel Town and playing the character Jane, she is
really vain and stuck up - not like me at all! I'm sure the show will go on to
become even more of a huge success so I'm glad to have been one of the original
cast.

Kerry
Collins - I found Steel Town a
valuable learning experience. I thought that the lyrics in the songs reflected
the emotions in the story line. Although I didn't have a main part, I felt I had
the chance to expand my character and express my characters feelings. I'm
looking forward to performing again in Consett.

Blythe - I think
the best pert of Steel Town was working with the 2nd years. It was nice to
know I could work well with them since not being in their year.

O - Steel Town was an enjoyable experience. The songs were the
strongest part of the show as they had been written by a man who had experienced
the steel works itself.
