This presentation is a powerful play that touches many of the hearts spiritually, emotionally, and religiously. I did not see anyone in the hall who was not attentive to her in this great performance. It is the best modern way of evangelization, helping those who are lost to turn back home to God and those who are faithful to deepen their faith. Doreen is a very faithful Roman Catholic converted from Judaism. Thus what she speaks of the Scripture, God and Compassionate Lord is convincing and genuine. God Bless her!”

“Last March I had the pleasure of attending Doreen Firestone’s presentation of The Prodigal Daughter. The presentation was held in the auditorium of Holy Redeemer Church in Freeport. Not knowing what to expect, I was more than pleasantly surprised at the performance. It was spectacular! The music was inspiring and the dialogue was engaging, all contributing to the excellent show. Of course, the material from Scripture, and the idea of using the “Daughter” as opposed to the “Son” was not only original, but inspiring. The message of forgiveness was made very clear to the audience – at least to me.
This past year, I asked Doreen to repeat the performance for our eighth
grade Confirmation candidates. The students were preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation in the spring. I thought it would be great to have Doreen present “The Prodigal Daughter” to them. We invited the students and their parents to attend. It was a wonderful experience. It was interesting to watch their faces as the performance moved on. To say they were intrigued would be an understatement. Both adults and students alike were engrossed and engaged in the performance. I believe they will remember the evening for quite a while. In fact, when the performance ended, many of the parents and teachers especially, mentioned to me how much they enjoyed the show and that the message of forgiveness was especially appropriate for their children preparing to receive Confirmation in a few weeks.
Lastly, Doreen chose to share some personal insights with the audience regarding her own Baptism and Confirmation as an adult. They were ‘caught in the moment’ by her inspiring words. It truly was an excellent evening!”
