Yep, that's Mary Beth waiting to go into The Snug Theatre for our first performance in Marine City, Michigan! We've been gearing up for this for weeks, because it is the first time we've been able to perform this show on the Eastern side of the state. The Sunrise Side is a bit of a tough nut to crack, but we're ecstatic that the Snug had an open slot and was willing to take a chance on an original work by a Michigan playwright, Mary G. Kron.
To be honest, we didn't know what to expect. WE knew we had a quality entertainment experience, but what would theatre goers and critics on the East side of the State think.
Maybe, we would go out on stage and find the theatre looking like this picture! Fortunately, for us and for the theatre, that wasn't the case. In fact, our first week's audiences were larger than normal for The Snug and they were very enthusiastic about the show! Encore Michigan even sent a reviewer. John Quinn called "My Dearest Friend" a "charming play" and remarked: "The fact that Mitchell and Quillin are married brings a spark of real-life to their performances. . . ." He also called our handling of the 18th Century language "well articulated," which we take as a high compliment. (See the full review here).
Of course, actors do not live by theatre alone (as much as we might like to think so)! I'll tell you about some of our other adventures last week in my next installment. They don't call this area the Blue Water side for nothing! Stay tuned!
