We just got back from attending a production of "The Producers" by the folks at the Looking Glass Playhouse in Lebanon, Illinois. LGP is an all amateur group of folks who put on a number of plays and musicals each year.
This evenings production of Mel Brooks' "The Producers" was superb! For a group of people to get together week after week in rehearsals, then put on an excellent show indicates great dedication to all of the people involved. In this production the two male leads were played by Brian Shreppler, who has been involved with LGP for a number of years, and Seth Ward, a newcomer in his first musical. Brian, as always, was excellent. Seth was the surprise of the night. He has excellent timing and facial expressions that are second to none. His voice was very, very good (an upper range tenor) and his voice carried really well in the theater - no one is wearing a microphone at LGP.
Sue and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously and recommend the Looking Glass Playhouse to anyone who enjoys good entertainment. An added bonus is the frequent opportunity to interact with cast members after the show. That is a really nice benefit.
Sweet dreams, all, and God Bless. TAD+
