Review: THE FIRST GENTLEMAN World Premiere Musical at Torrance Theatre Company

by Shari Barrett · June 22, 2026

Director Glenn Kelman is to be commended for taking on the challenge of coordinating twenty cast members moving scenery and set pieces into place to create 22 set changes in 14 locations on such a small stage, as well as setting the timing of each Ameri-News video projection to forward the story.
