I really love seeing what was once a big budget Broadway spectacle done with a handful of talented actors in a small space. This production really stripped the story down to its essence and the result was quite lovely.... full review

THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL was absolutely wonderful! Everything - from the direction which was creative and energetic, to the cast of 9, gifted and beautifully voiced actors - made this show a magical experience. We loved it. ... full review
