My overall impression
We absolutely loved Scooter Thomas Makes it to The Top of The World! I cried, I laughed, and then I remembered several people in my life just like Scooter because the actors did such an amazing job. David Gow and Dylan Arnold were so real, so believable in their characters that I felt like I was right in the middle of those awkward Middle School gym classes! The sheer joy that you see when they are young friends playing together is wonderful, and then they do such a fantastic job of moving the relationship though life in a way that is so genuine your heart is torn for them during their painful experiences. Gow and Arnold are so good that I cared deeply for the characters immediately. As the characters struggle to communicate and drift apart in their relationship, the acting is so good you want to jump up on the stage and work it out for them! Clearly Kevin Shipp is a fantastic director as well, because the very physical way that they actors relate when they are young is so appropriate, the use of very few props lets you focus on the actors and the story. We loved this play so much we are going again on Saturday night! This is a great play and some of the best acting I have ever seen! Congratulations David Gow, Dylan Arnold and Kevin Shipp!!
