Theaters across the country are struggling to produce quality events in a new and challenging technical and logistical environment. And so it was at Eventide Theatre Company on the weekend of October 24 and 25. Notwithstanding the difficulties, Lee Roscoe's terrific and timely play about the rise of an autocratic regime in America drew more that 700 attendees to Eventide's Virtual Theatre. Audience response was overwhelmingly positive—a credit to the excellent cast, director Chris Edwards, and the support of the Massachusetts Cultural Council—Dennis and Brewster, MA.
“It was wonderful! Very unique, extremely well acted, loved the ‘virtual staging’ and the interplay between one actor/scene and the next, really added a very almost Brechtian mood to the production…Your story line & dialogue so well done…We’ll be donating & hope the theater project can keep on….This online theatre feels like a new valuable addition to the way productions can be done. Great work by all…(only thing that I would suggest that interfered with the flow for me were the ‘names’ that kept coming on (at least my) screen, found it confusing & distracting…hopefully that can be ‘tweeked’ out in future presentations?)” —Falmouth activist, well known painter
