REVIEWS

Director Brant Russell has mounted a production that we need right at this moment… It’s almost a metaphor for our lives right now without theatre – unadorned and an empty stage with only a ghost light. But Russell’s cast and crew have brought a bright full-light to the empty stage and our hearts. This production brings out the play’s abundant humor and warmth. – League of Cincinnati Theatres

“Our Town” has a large cast (20 actors on stage and a 10-member chorus offstage). Praise must be given to director Brant Russell for making what could be a logistical nightmare into a seamless production where this mighty cast moves smoothly in and out scenes. He also gives ensemble cast members little moments to shine. – League of Cincinnati Theatres
