Bob says first “I love this play!” Because, Bob says…Shakespeare really created the screwball comedy and set the tone for comedy of manners with MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. We love this kind of romantic comedy because even though the male … Continue reading →

I saw Winter Tale on 10/29/2006 on the Ashland trip. Your production last night was much superior! Your set & costumes were better and your Perdita and Hermione really look like other/daughter. Great casting or make-up! The non-verbal activity of … Continue reading →

Amadeus – fantastic.

Grazie e bravisimo to the entire cast of Amadeus! Do not change a single thing to this amazing piece of art. The acting of Salieri was superb- simply inspiring! It was as though I was really watching the real Salieri. … Continue reading →

What a luscious, wonderful night! A Winter’s Tale tonight…funny, beautiful and heart-breaking. I loved each moment of it! And I, clearly, am developing a Shakespeare ear (finally) because I could understand the whole show, lots of the lewd comments even…with just having heard the synopsis on this website—a FABULOUS feature; that helped tremendously.

For the most part, I enjoyed the costumes, although Time’s outer robe could do with a makeover; it didn’t work very well. The fabric look cheap, it had no flow or movement, the seams were too obvious and it needed ironing. I would have loved a different fabric that had the same lushness and movement as the rest of the cast. His hood with the inner/mist layer was awkward and a bit distracting—having the black wig liner was good. Also, Perdita’s cap—yikes! That seemed so weird and out of synch…that, too, was a bit awkward when it started to fall off.

I had a bit of a hard time to hear the Prince—could he project just a bit more?
Over all, the evening was just magical—I was captivated and caught up in the story and hearbroken at all the right places. The kings were just grand—I loved them both and want to have them as my husbands.
Thank you for such a splendid and imaginative time….the dancing, the singing, the audience involvement—the spilled wine, the pickpocketing—-the fabulous storm with great lightning, the bear growling (I hope that can get smoothed out a bit)…I loved it.
I will be back with other friends who were foolish enough to miss tonight!
love and blessings,

It has been a really interesting process to return to theater after an almost three year hiatus and I am grateful that in my return I can show up in so many parts of myself. I am playing Time in … Continue reading →
