Testimonials:

“In no way meaning to lessen the performances of those not mentioned, I was especially impressed with the adept handing of language by Erin Bernard, Danae Nason, Aryanna Celenda and most notably Richard James Porter (It was a great pleasure hearing Shakespeare’s lines uttered by Mr. Porter).”

“You have found a fantastic director in Mr. Christopher Romero. This production is smart, sexy and full of energy and laughter. The creativity with which he bent the genders of a few key characters was impressive and the actors carried it off with appeared to be simply ease and grace! (I’m sure it must have taken a lot of hard work because they didn’t look like they were working at it.) The sexual tension and sexual dynamic added so much energy to the machinations of the characters. Mr. Castleman was a devilish Angelo. The Duke, played by Peter Romano (mostly disguised a a meddling friar), was a strong and heroic presence. Claudio, the lover, played by Jake Kropak was passionate and generous. John MacDonald and Kurt Roediger displayed some tight comic timing and physicality in their supporting roles as friars, soldiers, and drunks. Dylan J. Sampson was hilarious as the Elbow the Fool. Richard James Porter was a pitch perfect Escalus.”
