    Orson's Shadow is very well-written, but without expert direction and the perfectly honed performances, it would have sunk under it's own weight. Greg Lutz as Olivier and Christopher Haines as Welles are immensely entertaining, and nail their well-known characters perfectly. Andi Watson and Jason Barth give wonderful performances as Vivian Leigh and Kenneth Tynan, as does Shannon Whirry in the lesser role of Joan Plowright. Don't miss this amazingly intelligent night of theater!! Collapse

    I was riveted by the performance of Orson's Shadow!!!! Time passed far too quickly! Every actor in this play made their characters so real that I found myself totally immersed in Orsons world!!The talent I saw on this stage was beyond excellent! The dialog was brilliant! Jason Barth, Kane Anderson, Christopher Haines, Shannon Whirry, Greg Lutz and Andi Watson all deserve standing ovations! I intend to start going to more performances at the Herberger Theater from now on due entirely to this outstanding play I happened to see on Sunday. Thank you for a wonderful experience!! Collapse

    This was the best ensemble execution I've seen in years. A witty, charming, intelligent and poignant look at these legendary actors with an amazing cast to pull it off with ease. I thoroughly enjoyed this production and will probably see it again! Collapse
