Featured review from Pat C.
view more less of this reviewSUPERB acting saved this dated and predictable family dramedy from complete yawner-hood. I suspect it was novel, even ground-breaking, in its day, but the characters seem stereotypical and the themes trite today.
star this review starred report as inappropriateThis was a very sweet and enjoyable play. The main characters worked very well off of each other. Made for a relaxing night out.
star this review starred report as inappropriateRun, don't walk to this one! Don't miss it! With Eugene O'Neill as playwright, it is, as expected, wonderfully written. And the acting is everything it should be--we were especially impressed with the actor who played the father figure, and also the one in the role of the son Richard. We agree that this probably could not have been a better production anywhere! What a lovely play--even though it is in some ways a period piece, it still has much to say to us today, about family relationships and growing up in America, with all the usual ups and downs associated with coming of age. Just delightful--left us with tears in our eyes at the end! A must-see!!!
star this review starred report as inappropriateAh Wilderness was well acted. there were a lot of characters and all actors did a good job.t. The set was very good. The story is universal enough to be entertaining even though placed in 1906.
The group will do Long Days Journey into Night in November, it should be good.,

About the Ticket Supplier: Eclipse Theatre Company
Eclipse Theatre Company chooses one playwright per season and focuses on the works of that playwright only. Through this total immersion in a specific playwright's world, the ensemble gains a thorough understanding of that playwright and the circumstances of his/her writing in order to bring a more concentrated and literate representation of that playwright to the audience.
Playwrights who have written more than three plays are eligible for consideration, as well as playwrights who have shown a definite range of growth throughout their careers. On deciding which plays to perform, a great factor is the challenge that the piece presents to the ensemble and its audience.
Since the inception of the one playwright-one season mission in 1997, playwrights that have been featured with Eclipse include French Playwright Jean Cocteau; Legendary American Playwrights Tennessee Williams, Lillian Hellman and Neil Simon, New York Playwrights Romulus Linney and John Guare, and Chicago native Keith Reddin.
