NEW! Read a new review about Sheryl as Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the Wanderer.

What Children and Adults are saying about Sheryl Faye Presents Historical Women:

Helen Keller

Coventry Public Library, RI – Sheryl Faye presented an outstanding performance as Helen Keller at Coventry (RI) Public Library. Substituting audio recording and slides for her senses, Sheryl compensated for her character’s sight and hearing disabilities. The energy that Sheryl brought to the programs was extraordinary. This is a very physical performance. Sheryl followed Helen from her impossible behavior as a child to her emergence as an educated and accomplished woman of the world. The audience was entranced and many have asked for Sheryl to come back as another character. I’ll be inviting Sheryl to do just that.

Sheryl was fabulous and received a standing ovation at the end of her Helen Keller performance for a group of 75 women. The best Historical performer I have seen and a great person to work with!

Cornerstone at Milford (Senior Living) – Sheryl’s performance of Helen Keller was truly amazing. I was moved to tears on more than one occasion, and our assisted living residents loved it. Just about everyone in the audience came up to me afterwards to tell me how much they enjoyed it. They found her character to be truly inspirational and one resident, who was a professional actor, was especially complimentary. Sheryl does a wonderful job, and we can’t wait to have her back!

Mystic Valley Regional Charter School – I’m not really a review person, but had to share how absolutely amazing Sheryl Faye’s performance depicting Helen Keller was today. Every student and parent in the audience was utterly captivated by her performance and clung to her every word. As Pres. of our PTO, I attend many of our enrichment events, but in my opinion this was far and away the best program we’ve provided to our community. I knew we struck gold, when the students themselves approached Sheryl for autographs and expressed their approval. BRAVO!!! Can’t wait to have her back for many years to come!

The Progressive School, New York – We were just treated to a performance on the life of Helen Keller from her own point of view, and it turned out to be much more than we anticipated. Sheryl Faye brought Helen Keller to life, eliciting gasps, tears and cheers from her rapt audience, from the youngest child to the oldest staff member. It was a very moving performance, seamlessly weaving background narration and slides with pantomime and props. Thoroughly researched and professionally delivered, we just can’t wait to have Miss Faye back to share the lives of the other women in her repertoire! I must add that I have never seen our students so completely riveted to a presenter. The time went by so quickly that I couldn’t believe when it was up, and I didn’t want it to be over. ~ Eric Jacobson, Director

Derry Village School – Sheryl has been coming here for years. Each year I am blown away at how her Helen Keller presentation captivates the entire audience! Amazing performance! ~ Sandi WardEvery year we are blown away by the Helen Keller presentation! The presentation keeps the attention of all types and all levels of learners. Sheryl Faye please come back next year! ~ 4th grade teacher

Sheryl has been brilliantly performing as Helen Keller for many years for our 3rd graders. This spring, as always, the children were spellbound as Sheryl brought Helen to life. For 45 minutes 150 eight years olds were silently enthralled as they went on a journey through Helen’s life. Sheryl makes Helen’s struggles and triumphs real for the students. After the performance the children reflected upon Helen’s life. Sheryl’s performance sparked further questions and comments about Helen’s bravery and courage. One student was heard exclaiming, “I forgot that wasn’t actually Helen Keller!”

Sheryl performed Helen Keller for our TriClub Luncheon held in Southwick, MA. We received terrific feedback from those who attended. Sheryl did a wonderful job of showing us the life of Helen Keller from her youth to adult. We were in tears and laughter throughout the performance. We would highly recommend Sheryl to any group interested in historical figures as she portrays quite a number of famous women. Candy Pennington, HWA Luncheon Committee Member

Stoneham Historical Society – Last Thursday night the Stoneham Historical Society welcomed back Sheryl Faye and her portrayal of Helen Keller. Her performance was riveting and very emotional as we entered the silent world of this famous lady who overcame such extreme challenges. The ending was very moving. We haven’t stopped talking about her performance and look forward to her return visit. Thank you Sheryl you are the BEST!

Excellent audio presentation, characterization very engaging, good visual of sign language, love the humor ~ 4th grade teacher

Orchard Cove, Senior Living – Sheryl Faye Presents Historical Women was fantastic! We had her perform Helen Keller for our senior living community and the audience loved it! It was engaging, educational and emotional; it felt like we really had Helen Keller in the room with us. We will be inviting Sheryl back for hopefully many more performances.

Hanover Council on Aging – I am the new Director at Hanover Council on Aging. I booked Sheryl based on the recommendation of my staff. I was unsure what this particular performance “Helen Keller” would be like, but being a HUGE Helen Keller fan since childhood I went with it. I AM SOO GLAD I DID!!!! This performance was amazing!!! Sheryl is a great actress! The staff and audience felt every emotion portrayed! I cannot say enough about great things about her! I will be passing her name on to my fellow Directors today! Thank you Sheryl! You are a truly amazing artist!!

It was well received by all the children and it was easy to see that the teachers, staff and parents enjoyed it as well. Your portrayal of Helen Keller was so well balanced with regards to the historical education and theatrical aspect of your performance. You were able to successfully engage, entertain and educate our children which are the criteria the Middleton PTO looks for when bringing Enrichment Programs to our top rated elementary school. It was also a great way to compliment Disability Awareness portion of our curriculum. Your performance was emotional and really brought to life the struggles Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan faced throughout their partnership. It was so successful that the second grade team has already requested that we bring you back next year.
Thank you for all of the education and entertainment you have provided for us in recent years. We find your performance fee reasonable and well worth the cost.

It was evident by the students’ facial expressions. They never took their eyes off of Helen.

Amvet Blvd. Elementary, North Attleboro – The Principal made a point to say to come out of her office to say that it was FANTASTIC!  She said that it was the biggest and best feedback she has received on a program thus far…  The teachers said that they were wondering if you were really blind.  The students were thoroughly convinced too!  Two huge thumbs up!

Eleanor Roosevelt

Southbury Public Library, CT – Sheryl performed as Eleanor Roosevelt at the Southbury Public Library to an eager crowd of 130 adult guests, mostly senior citizens. Her performance was excellent, vibrant, engaging, and moving. After the show, she answered audience questions with knowledge and enthusiasm. We received an impressive volume of rave reviews from our attendees. Sheryl was very professional and easy to work with, too! She was very gracious about our scheduling needs and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend her to other libraries and institutions for audiences of any age group. She is as strong an actress as she is gracious and easy to work with.

Garden Club – Sheryl Faye brought the real Eleanor Roosevelt to life! The actual presentation involved an elaborate set-up geared to walk viewers through the Eleanor’s important life moments that helped make her the woman she was. Sheryl has a commanding presence. Her ability to make us feel what Eleanor felt at those key moments, actually brought tears to many in the audience. Many people have written about Eleanor, however Sheryl managed to not only give us information, but to inspire us to be better, do better, and not let our fears stop us from becoming all we can be. Thank you Sheryl for all your hard work. I wish everyone could see this presentation. We might have a kinder, gentler America.

Mansfield Senior Center, CT – I invited Sheryl to do her program on Eleanor Roosevelt. The sign up list was so long, I booked her for a second performance as Amelia Earhart before she’d done the first. My group was enthralled and gave her a standing ovation when she finished. In my years working with seniors I have never seen them give a standing ovation to anyone. I highly recommend her for your group, library or school.

Hingham Historical Society – Sheryl Faye came to the Hingham Heritage Museum last weekend to present ‘Tea With Eleanor’. Her portrayal of Eleanor Roosevelt was superb. The combination of her acting talents and creative use of audio and visual backgrounds was mesmerizing. It was enjoyed to the fullest extent by an audience of approximately 65 people. We plan to have Sheryl return to Hingham in the future to present another famous woman.

Yarmouth Senior Center – Sheryl Faye provided a most compelling, persuasive portrayal of Eleanor Roosevelt, “First Lady of the World!” Captivating attendees with likeness of Eleanor’s voice…following her story of life. Sheryl is a most engaging talented actress! Strongly recommend her presentations of Historical Women!

Church Women’s Guild – Sheryl Faye Presents: Historical Women performed Eleanor Roosevelt for our church Women’s Guild this past week. Never have we received such positive feedback for a performance or performer.The group is hoping that we can have Sheryl back performing another of her famous women. She brought to life Eleanor as a child, wife, mother, first lady and her life after the loss of her husband FDR. Through slides, audio, and many costumes changes we learned so much more about this great lady.

Gables at Winchester, Senior Living – The residents here at The Gables At Winchester are still raving about your performance on Eleanor Roosevelt. They were in amazement of your knowledge of her life history and your coordination in acting her out  in various costumes and running the video show simultaneously! I was so impressed as well with your performance. In fact, I would like to have you back to present your other topics.

Susan B Anthony Birthplace Museum – “Sheryl Faye Presents Historical Women” provided a superb experience for the patrons of the Susan B Anthony Birthplace Museum. Sheryl portrayed Eleanor Roosevelt in such a manner that truly brought her and her passions alive to the audience. She was engaging and spectacular. Her professionalism and research was evident through the interpretation. What I loved most about her performance was that she humanized Mrs. Roosevelt, by bringing the viewer through the stages of her life, and was still able to capture the strength and courage of Eleanor, which made her the “First Lady of the World”. The Susan B Anthony booked two other performances for the next two years immediately following the event because of the great reviews by the audience. ~ Colleen Janz, Executive Director

Parkway Elementary School, New York – Thank you for your wonderful portrayal of Eleanor Roosevelt today at the Parkway Elementary school. My third grade class was captivated by your performance and it was a perfect addition to our study of women’s history. After coming back to our classroom, my students were able to recall many of the details of Eleanor’s life and understand the impact of her important contributions to our country. History is often loss these days of excessive and often mindless texting, but your live performance provided students with knowledge they will be able to “connect” to, for many years to come. My students had much to say about what they learned today. Thank you so much for a great learning experience! ~ Larry, teacher

Clara Barton

Auburn Historical Society – We had the pleasure of attending a performance in which Sheryl Faye dramatized the life of Clara Barton, founder of The American Red Cross. Her production was a masterful combination of image, action and narrative. Not only did she depict the life of Clara Barton, she made vivid the society in which that life was lived. Sheryl’s presentation focused on the social issues of 150 years ago and quickens the understanding and appreciation of how those issues were dealt with. Her historical authentic portrayal reveals Clara Barton’s inspiring humanitarianism; a life fueled by determination to alleviate suffering brought about by conflict and crisis. Sheryl is a professional. She quickly transformed the ordinary room into a convincing theater with set and sound. She is a pleasure to work with: flexible and efficient. Her interactions with our diverse group were warm and informative. She would be a boon to any classroom! ~ Anna Howe Stead, Teacher

What a gift to teach us about our “herstory” in such an enjoyable manner. Thank you Sheryl!

Elm Middle School – Sheryl visited our school last month for her Clara Barton show. It was amazing. 7th graders are a tough audience and Sheryl was able to use both costume changes, extensive audio effects, and actual pictures to tell the story of Ms. Barton’s life. Booking her was easy, making plans that day was a breeze, and overall this was an excellent experience. The timing, content, and post-performance discussion were all top notch.

Amelia Earhart

Veterans Coffehouse, CT – Hello, I am very pleased to share a review of Sheryl Faye. Ms. Faye recently performed for our Veterans Coffeehouse in Northeast CT, portraying the life of Amelia Earhart. We had a packed room of veterans in attendance and you could have heard a pin drop during her spot-on performance! Sheryl was articulate, captivating, energetic, and intriguing. Each life event she delivered made one eagerly awaiting more news from Amelia. Sheryl truly is such a talented actor and one class act! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to experience your passion for historical women. I’m certain we all learned more about Amelia’s life from your portrayal. Best always!

Garden Club – Sheryl was a delightful addition to our annual meeting and gave a performance infused with humor and compassion into Amelia’s life. She is a very talented actor who I highly recommend as an adjunct to any event.

BayBerry At Emerald Court – Sheryl is perfect in her many roles she portrays. It is amazing to see how she can transform herself into the likes of Amelia Earhart and Helen Keller. She must spend an amazing amount of time researching. From her history lesson, to her costumes, she brings us back in time. She has performed 4 times for us now and we already can not wait to bring her back again. If you are interested in having a presentation by Sheryl, do not hesitate as it is well worth it!

Stanley School – The presentation was fantastic! The students were engaged and attentive. Sheryl Faye is professional and enthusiastic! We really enjoyed the performance.

Our class loved this presentation. It made them invested in learning more about Amelia and interested in other women the actress said she plays. It was a great performance.

F.A. Cleveland School – I loved the presentation! It was tremendously engaging and captured the story of Amelia Earhart.

Anne Frank

Oxford Greens Women’s Club, CT – I had the pleasure of watching Sheryl perform Anne Frank at a recent luncheon of the Oxford Greens (Ct.) Women’s Club. Her portrayal was mesmerizing; she WAS Anne Frank!
With an amazing set, music, slides, and other technical enhancements, she presented a flawless production. Her audience was captivated and gave her a standing ovation at the end. The Women’s Club definitely wants to
have her back!

It was a tremendously engaging performance that captured the story of Anne Frank perfectly! ~ Carrie LaRue

We hosted Sheryl Faye at our Library. She presented the program “Anne Frank – A Life to Remember: A Story of Perseverance, Hope and Love.” Her performance exceeded our expectations. Her portrayal of Anne Frank was extremely moving – she managed to tie history and Anne’s personal story together in such a way that it touched everyone in the audience, both young and old. Our patrons have asked that we host another program with her – perhaps Abigail Adams!

Agawam, MA Public Library – Sheryl delivered a very moving and poignant performance, perfectly capturing the nuances of a 14 year old girl! Her set was simple, yet very effective. Sheryl was very organized and handled the audience with ease.

Lancaster School – Well done. Performance was excellent! The performance has definitely sparked their interest and I am looking forward to seeing their continued enthusiasm. Thank you!

Martinson Elementary School – Excellent performance! Anne Frank’s story was well portrayed and engaging from beginning to end. The conclusion of the show was very powerful and caught me off guard even though I knew what was coming. ~ Chantal Frenette, teacher

Cooperative Middle School – This presentation was well done. It kept me captivated from start to finish. It highlighted and summarized how real people were affected by Nazi cruelty. I thought it was a very powerful play. It was very informative and it really showed you what these women went through! We loved the different characters perspectives. You are a great actress and shared your emotion with us and made us feel it too. Your timing was excellent!

Slater Library, CT – Thank you Sheryl Faye for a moving performance as Anne Frank. we chuckled at the antics of a young girl pushing towards adulthood, and had tears in our eyes for the fear and hatred that pushed humanity into one of it’s lowest times in history. A truly heart wrenching and thought provoking presentation.

Brighton Public Library – Sheryl Faye does a marvelous job in bringing Anne Frank’s experience
vividly to life. The props that she uses and recordings  also enhances the performance.
Everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the presentation.

Alan Babner,Adult Services Librarian–Brighton

Abigail Adams

Erving Public Library – I can not say enough about Sheryl Faye’s performances. The evening performance, Abigail Adams, was held at the town’s Sr.-Community Center for children and adults. Sheryl mesmerized the audience during the performance. During the Q&A  They also asked what other shows she performed. The follow up question, “When are you coming back so we can see Eleanor Roosevelt?” , speaks volumes about Sheryl’s performance and her ability to connect with an audience of any age. This performance was enjoyable and enthralled the audience just as much. I noticed the person assigned to take pictures was not ‘doing her job’, so I went over to ask her to take more pictures. Her reply says it all, “I’m sorry, I was so caught up in the show, I forgot”. After the show people couldn’t stop talking about her performance. This is the second year we have had Sheryl perform 2 shows. While Sheryl was packing to leave, the school librarian and I started making plans for Sheryl’s performance next year. I highly recommend Sheryl Faye Presents Historical Women.

Susan B Anthony

Beyond fabulous! I felt like I was truly in the room with Susan B. Anthony. Thank you Sheryl. I look forward to attending more of your presentations!!

Evergreen Place, NH – The flagship of any performance is how you connect to an audience. My residents were absolutely engaged and invested in your performance. They are still talking about it this morning. As for me I laughed when you laughed, cried when you cried. you are a wonderful performer and we cannot wait to have you back.

Sally Ride

Very good! She just came to our school as Sally Ride, and was very engaging! Great job!

John Curtis Free Library – We have had Sheryl twice, and she has surpassed expectations every time – and, yes, we will have her back again! UPDATE: Yes, we HAVE had her back – virtually this time – and as usual, she was excellent! Thoroughly researched, yet accessible to a wide audience, these performances are well worth it!
