Good Company Players at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater
Shenandoah at Roger Rocka’s
GCP “offers a folksy, fresh, sweet-and-sad outing that lingers with you long after the last muffled drum roll has faded.”
Shadowlands at 2nd Space
Only 7 days left to see this “reminder that romance can blossom at all ages.” Shadowlands ends October 11 at GCP’s 2nd Space Theatre.
From the Fresno Bee review of Shenandoah:
“There is heart and soul in (Mark) Norwood’s performance, and as tragedy strikes you can feel the weight of it push his character down. In one ringing song after the other, ranging from the bittersweet “The Pickers Are Coming” to the plaintive “Papa’s Going to Make It All Right,” Norwood’s sturdy voice fills the small theater with hope and heartbreak.””The result is a thoughtful, provocative experience that will be new to the vast majority of audiences. By taking a chance on a title without “Sound of Music” name recognition, Good Company offers a moving and insightful experience.”You can read the entire Bee review by clicking here.See the review in Kings River Life by clicking here.
From the Bee review of Shadowlands::
“He’s a famous writer. She’s a fan. Though the two have exchanged many letters across an ocean — this was back in a time when people actually wrote their thoughts on paper and mailed them to each other — they’ve never met in person until now.”“Such is the premise of William Nicholson’s moving “Shadowlands,” which details the unlikely romance and 1956 marriage between the prominent English theologian and scholar C.S. Lewis, author of “The Chronicles of Narnia,” and the American poet Joy Gresham Davidman.”Good Company Players “gives it nuance, a gentle wit and a commanding sensitivity.”See the entire Bee review of Shadowlands by clicking here.
