Glowing Reviews for NANCE’s Wonderful Company!

“… splendidly reliable actors who carefully construct fully realized characters by paying attention to the details.”

(Rachel) Brown rises brilliantly to a plethora of challenges. As Nance, she must act the free spirit chafing at the limitations imposed on women of her era; she does, while remaining — in posture and deportment — true to the strictures of the age. In Nance’s various acting roles (Judith, Magda, Lady Macbeth), she must duplicate antiquated dramatic styles — the stylized gestures and heightened oratory. Brown handles it all so well, you’re left eager to see her take on the whole canon, for real.

“Director Gary Shrader and (Jonna) McElrath together have created a chilling and memorable version of Lizzie Borden….O’Neil may have exerted a power over audiences during her heyday, but it’s McElrath and Lizzie Borden who stir audiences now.”
Mark Peikert, BACKSTAGE

(Frank) Anderson as Neil’s cynical former lover makes his character so engaging and complex he comes close to stealing the show.”
Paulanne Simmons, CURTAINUP

Frank Anderson as Rankin and Jane Titus as Emma, both splendidly reliable actors who carefully construct fully realized characters by paying attention to the details; Titus is particularly unforgettable in a climactic moment in Act Two that I otherwise will say nothing about.”

“The show features a fifth star, comprised of Christi Coufal‘s lovely period costumes and Emily Inglis‘s meticulous, rose-hued set.”
