The front office manager juggled about ten tasks while she sold tickets,
but what happened on the bare stage in their production of "Medea"
was nothing short of pure theatrical enchantment. Now, I'll admit, I
occasionally need my fix of the youth working hard at their craft. They
breathe into me a renewing life with their zeal and pure love for the
art.
In the lead role was a young actress named April Lowe, who under the
direction of Candace O'Neil Cihocki, scorched the audience with an intense
and passionate performance. My disbelief totally suspended, I might
as well have been witnessing a depressed housewife in Beverly Hills
readying her children for death due to her husband's infidelity.
Let me point out something here. I do not review plays. However, when
I see something special, I think it is important to spread the word.
This play was beautifully executed and I applaud all of those involved
with the production of "Medea."
I got my fix...
