“It\u2019s a delight from beginning to end!

…”You\u2019ll recall that a group of the city\u2019s tradesmen forms the cast of a misguided play about star-crossed lovers Pyramus and Thisbe, which they want to perform for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. I\u2019ve seen productions in which that play-within-a-play grows tiresome, but this version was so cleverly dramatized and so well acted, I enjoyed every minute. Kudos to Jeffrey Marc Alkins (Peter Quince\/playwright\/Flake),\u00a0Darin F. Earl II<\/a>\u00a0(Starveling\/Sugarplum),\u00a0James Frances Egbert<\/a>\u00a0(Tom Snout\/Wall\/Snowball),\u00a0David Foubert<\/a>\u00a0(Nick Bottom, Pyramus, Donkey),\u00a0Keith Hale<\/a>\u00a0(Francis Flute\/Thisbe\/Mistletoe) and\u00a0Eric Hoffman<\/a>\u00a0(Egeus\/Lion\/Snug). As the \u201clovers,\u201d Hale and Foubert displayed genius comic timing.”<\/strong><\/p>\nVictoria Weisfeld, Front Row Center, Dec 11, 2023<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
