With a smooth Irish tenor, a bumbling comedian, a cross-dressing German house maid, and a “Stage Door Slasher,” the cast and crew of the Fauquier Community Theatre took an overdone idea and made it into a fabulous night of theater.
What a show! The Tantallon Community Players put on an amazing production of Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun.
From Paul Nasto’s musical direction (music, perfectly timed and tuned), to Amy Carson’s tight choreography that pulls no punches, to the rare triple threats of actors who can sing AND dance, this production has it all right.
The characters of Arsenic and Old Lace are icons of the theatre, brought to life by director Gayle Negri, producer Michael O’Donnell and their dee-lightful cast and crew. There’s lovely chemistry between each of the characters.
Hansel & Gretel offers a safe and fun way to provide an especially unique experience.
This hour long children’s show was a joy to watch.
Director Craig Pettinati has put together an energetic, young cast. The large cast meshed together well and sang the songs passionately.
Director Steven Carpenter gives a professional show that is both endearing and intense with excellent scenes and interpretation. Mauritius is perfect for the suspense-seeking theatergoer.
Roman Gusso as shock jock Barry Champlain was at his best when he was walking, or rather storming, around the stage while listening to a caller, but unfortunately he was tied to his seat for most of the show, draining energy.
Sweeney Todd has throat cut!
