First-time director and ACT acting veteran Noel Ahlers has worked a miracle transforming real live human beings into two-dimensional cartoon characters.
This timeless sitcom was adapted from a stage play of the same name by noted playwright Neil Simon. A lesser-known fact is that Simon also penned a female version.
In dialogue and song, we learn the many machinations that keep a church’s membership fed, entertained and devoted. Directed by Ruth Sejnoha, the show is comedic, acerbic and touching.
At the show I attended some volume issues caused me to miss a few words and phrases, but all in all, the cast and crew did an admirable job with complex and unfamiliar pronunciations.
