Thank you for the kind words. Community theater is definitely a labor of love. Our payment is in the friends we make during the rehearsals and performances and the joy we receive when the audience responds positively. Our director, Carole Lamont, has emphasized “family” since day one and this group of actors and support folks have become just that. I am sorry this production only runs for two more weeks.

]]> Comment on A CHRISTMAS STORY Worth Re-Telling by Ethan Hackney http://thepeoplescritic.com/2011/12/10/a-christmas-story-worth-re-telling/#comment-277 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 01:49:34 +0000 http://thepeoplescritic.com/?p=3680#comment-277 That’s me in the picture for “A Christmas Story.” I’ve never been on google or on a website before. The play was so much fun, but you had to make a big comment in your story. That must be really hard to do though, because if you mess up there are no re-dos.

The student body has many extremely talented performers to choose from they are willing and able to provide delightful entertainment.
I am grandmother of the two Bates performers, and they are just sophomores, so look out for next time as they are improving as they grow.

]]> Comment on A True “BEAUTY” From John Cooper’s Performing Arts Center by txarchitect http://thepeoplescritic.com/2011/12/02/a-true-beauty-from-john-coopers-performing-arts-center/#comment-195 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 09:34:02 +0000 http://thepeoplescritic.com/?p=3667#comment-195 The vocals from this amazing ensemble cast soared, characters flew, plates spun, napkins joined Belle in an astonishing kick-line, Lumiere literally ignited with passion, the Beast transformed mid-air, and little girls who attended in their Belle costumes (and, enchantingly, there were many) were invited onstage for pictures with the costumed cast. This breathtaking production truly produced memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. And to think, John Cooper School has four hundred students in the entire high school….amazing!

Welcome aboard! You have come late to my party, but I am delighted to have you join the tens of thousands of People’s Critic fans who clamour for my every pearl of wisdom. Some of my Barter reviews were published in Abingdon’s Washington County News years ago. Here are a few of my review links that might interest you, with some regarding various Barter productions, including the “Something’s Afoot” of which you were Musical Director a decade ago:
