Review of A Christmas Carol
Overall, the story of the play was obscured by the script’s choppiness and lack of demonstrable journey by its main character.
Dauntless performs Dracula at the Masonic Lodge
While the theatre-going experience is, first-and-foremost, about the play, there’s certainly something to be said for ambiance. And, in the case of Dauntless Productions’ performance of Dracula, I have to recommend the play to anyone with even a passing interest in Halloween/vampires/things spooky/the Masonic temple. See this show — which runs through Saturday, Oct. 30 — if only for the experience of being in the appropriately spooky auditorium of the Masonic Temple.

Review of The Importance of Being Earnest
The more shows I see Montford’s intrepid players undertake, the more fond of them I become. It’s community theater at its best, as far as I’m concerned. The vibe with the audience is supportive and enthusiastic, and you can’t help but feel that everyone, both onstage and off, is having a tremendously good time.
Review of A Christmas Carol
If you have never encountered the original Dickens tale,or have only the vaguest recollection of it, The Montford Park Players offer you an excellent opportunity to make up this deficiency with their authentic adaptation. Watching it, you may feel yourself transported back to the nineteenth century, not only by the story and its setting but by the acting and staging, too.
