by Peter Shaffer This show had it all--wonderful set design, spectacle, engaging plot, and even believable characters with depth. What makes it more amazing is that the original lead actor was fired shortly before the show was to begin and Gary Neal Johnson took on the role with very little rehersal time. You never would have guessed they had chosen anyone but Gary for the part. Another plus was that it was an all male cast, those are always fun...at least for me. The play was a very passionate tale about how Pizarro conquered the Incas and destroyed them along with himself in the process. I cried every night at the end. |

by Charles Dickens It's a Christmas Carol, what more needs to be said? |

by Alfred Uhry Alfred Uhry also wrote Driving Miss Daisy. This play was a marvelous story about a Jewish family in the South and how they dealt with being Jewish, fitting in with the world, and exhibiting prejudices within their own ethnicity. It was funny and serious, sometimes simultaneously. There were a few sappy cute-sy scenes, but not too many to keep it from being very enjoyable. |

by William Gibson I was somewhat leary of this show, having seen the movie and heard the story of Helen Keller SOO much. But I was truly impressed by this production. Ellen Haun was amazing along with Sevanne Martin. There was so much energy in the show--the scene where Annie gets Helen to eat dinner properly just wore me out watching it. It was also an amazing teaching tool for awareness of the needs of the blind and the deaf. |
