A wonderfully performed mystery with enough twists and turns to make my head spin.

Overall an interesting historical piece that was well acted.

Colonial Players’ production is classically styled and sophisticated in performance; the cast’s English accents are precise and diction and timing seem perfect.

Director, William Aitken, brings us Paddy Chayefsky’s play with a sense of the realism it was meant to be. True to the time and place and complete with all the nuance, flavor and subtext to give the audience a full appreciation for the time period and the story being told.

Other than some poetic license taken in spots with the life of Mare West, this was an entertaining introduction to the life of Mae West.

Actors must love juicy roles such as these slimy, greedy, back-stabbing salesmen. Unfortunately, many of the performances were flat.

The overall feeling of Port City’s Farragut North is that of a classic black-and-white intrigue. Melodramatic acting, scratchy sound effects, and Bond-esque sets are incongruous with the sharp, emotionally nuanced–and very modern–script.

Was Moonlight and Magnolias meant to be a comedy or farce, or a dialogue on the impact that the movies have on society (and the impact society has on the movies)?

Schoolhouse Rock Live! is truly a must-see and a rare opportunity for professional-quality, affordable live entertainment for children that is also educational.

A funny play, although occasionally difficult to follow, but overall was a solid production.
