This high-spirited golden age musical comedy wowed Wichita audiences
Casting high school aged teen-agers can be a trickier needle to thread than one might think. Two actors who are still in high school wrestling down the spectrum of emotions, growth journeys and heartbreak of Shakespeare’s tale is no small achievement. Asher Hagler and Quinnlyn Scheppner make their marks; they are charismatic, genuine and, yes, also very young.

What did our critic think of DESERTED at Redtwist Theatre?
Peter Pan is famous for never growing up and bringing Wendy and her brothers to Neverland to stop the ruthless Captain Hook. In Peter Pan and Mary, we go back many years and meet Mary, Wendy’s mother. Hope Lowry, as Peter Pan, portrayed this well-loved character as confident and adventurous, and maybe a tad self-centered. Mary, played by Rory Fogle, was as adventurous and confident as Peter Pan. This self-proclaimed Pirate expert was perfect to bring back to Neverland to defeat the evil pirate, Captain Barbecue, played by Caryn Darrow. Darrow was evil, manipulative, and cunning in this role. Without giving too much away, Mark Tauzin’s portrayal of Jimmy was excellent as he showed the evolution of this character.

La compañía de Teatro Ciego explora los límites del movimiento en escena a partir de una serie de viñetas en torno a los corazones rotos.
THE DIVINE SISTER is a devilishly funny. It is a fun, comedic, irreverent, and enthralling. It's unlike any of the works that inspired it. The play will seem vaguely familiar at times, but it stands on its own as uniquely creative!
