No Way Out - 1944 - Broadway Articles Page 1

On Saturday, May 2nd, I had the pleasure of seeing another first-rate production put on by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. It is always nice to see a high quality show I was not previously familiar with. HARVEY, by Mary Chase, has somehow eluded my previous theater experiences, which means I had been missing out on a high quality show! Director Pamela Amodio helps bring out the best in this highly talented ensemble cast! The performers include Jeff Liggett, Gina Marie Davies, Priscilla Arcamone, Holly Jodoin, Carolyn Doherty, Rich Guadiosi, David Macharelli, Rick Malone, Cindy Harris, and Nick Demetriades who all thrive as individuals and as a collective group of talented performers in bringing positive energy that makes this comedy come to life on stage! Their stage chemistry and stage presence create a truly enjoyable experience for all. Having originally been completed in 1944, this show remains entertaining more than eighty years later!
