Rough Crossing completes Rockville Little Theatre’s season with a whimper.

A well told tale about love and hate, fear and strength, hope and forgiveness.

A well staged, well-balanced, funny look at one man’s Shakespearean, and life, crisis.

Despite the technical hurdles, this is an opportunity to see a production rarely performed in the DC region.

“Trust the material.” That theatrical principle, above all in plays that have successfully entertained audiences for 400+ years, is a key to satisfying productions.

A thriller with an ending not to be missed.

As challenging as Greek tragedy can be for a community theater, it can be effectively presented without elaborate stagecraft, and the simplicity of the set and lighting design worked well for this production.

All together, this was a very enjoyable piece of community theatre that is a nice treat for the whole family.

Folger’s Cyrano is a splendid production that looks and sounds good and illuminates the play’s characters and feelings as no other production of the play I have encountered.

When at the top of their game, the first-rate community theaters in the Washington area produce shows the quality of which exceeds that of many of the area’s professional troupes.
