"Congratulations!"

Good to know there is theatre which reflects the presence of Native people who became illegal in their own continent/land. Looking forward to the first presentation!

I have attended this event and it is one of the best kept secrets of the Phoenix classical music scene. The combined talent of Dr. Haeseler and Alan DePuy is incredible along with the beautiful choral voices. They combine to create a heavenly vibration here on earth. The venue is the perfect setting for this classical experience of spiritually inspiring music. Go and enjoy the high vibrations of this wonderful experience. Collapse

Once again the Prescott Regulators and their Shady Ladies have put on an excellent competition - In spite of Saturday afternoon's rainout. The hard work and dedication of their members was clearly evident to this "Old-Timer" veteran of many competitions around the country over the past 15 years. The PRSL hospitality was great as was the commraderie with the other groups ("I never met a competitor, Regulator, or Shady Lady I didn't like!"). I feel the judges (costume & skits) were all very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. I especially liked the simultaneous judging of the men's and women's costume categories - Nice innovation! Randy & Cheryl, please convey my sincere thanks to all your members for their hard work and friendly attitudes that made this weekend a success. We will be back next year! Collapse

I thought that the show, was very well put together, the love story between Mendel, and the crazy woman with the wig, was great! Both actors delivered great performances, as well as did a great job directing the production. The young boy did a fantastic job. brought me to tears. Marvan, delivered a very passionate performance. The role of wizar was forgettable, but the actor had a wonderful voice. Highlights in the show were, "Four Jews in a Room Bitching","Breaking Down", and "I Never Wanted to Love You". Collapse

I've seen at least 8 ABT productions and this one is at the top of my list! The lead's were of course good, but the supporting cast can make or break the performance, and this one made it great! Marian has a remarkable voice, the mayor's wife and "ladies" gave me some belly laughs, the choreography was very entertaining, the quarter had powerful voices that took me to a different era and the children brought sparkles to my eyes. The set designs great and set changes were seamless- couldn't believe it was intermission already! The costume changes, of which there were a lot, were sugary sweet and the ladies were audacious! Loved the energy on stage! What a great way to drift away to a simpler era. Some of the cast members even come out to greet you. I watched several guest children in awe! It's a great place to have some family fun and enjoy real " NY Broadway" entertainment! Collapse

I went to go see Oliver just last week. I was in Oliver! in the original cast on broadway. These orphans did a AMAZING JOB. Their performance was great. The scene changes were quick and the set was AWESOME. I felt just like i was in 19th century London. I give this production 5 out of 5 STARS. THIS SHOW IS A HIT!!! You have got to go see this.

First time at ABT. Five children I took were very disappointed. Children need more visual stimulation; staging and scenery was perhaps the most ineffective I have ever seen - There really was none. Five yellow arrows on the curtain really get boring when this is the ONLY scenery used throughout the entire play. More "portable" props (like rainbow) needed, e.g., Emerald City, tornado, etc. Wicked witch, tinman, Dorothy casting was good. Others were mediocre. Many little ones loved being called munchkins (many times). Mine did not. We all loved the red shoes and Dorothy's closing "Over the Rainbow." Collapse

Great idea for kids who are curious about nature and the desert. Of course the bugs, frogs and looking for possible bats were quite entertaining for the little ones! Although happily married enjoying a romantic and intellectual evening, it would also be a great date night for getting to know someone! Collapse
