I just caught the last half of Our Town on PBS. I think the only time i've ever seen this show its been done by high schoolers. I thought i had lost the taste for this classic. What a great production; set and lighting was stunning. The acting was just great. (Although, i may just have been a bit smitten with Maggie Lacey)
It's funny how much different it is watching you people you don't know on stage. Almost every production i see in GR now has an actor or actress i know pretty well. I think its making it harder to buy into their characters. Or it's also possible that cast was just outstanding. Having never been to New York to see a production, i wonder just how different community theatre here is. Does having a budget of millions versus hundreds really make a difference? What kind of theatre can we expect to see here in our town?
