I enjoyed it very much.
It is a six people production, great acting from all the actors, especially from Rachel Hardisty playing the role of Charlotte (Charlie).
Be warn, the play is about 2 & 1/2 hours long, and has one scene that have cig. smoke.

The theatre has 80+ seats, 30+ seats in the center, 20+ seats on the left side and 20+ on the right side from the stage, most seats have very good views of the stage, but a few seats on the left side to the stage have partial obstructed views due to a pole, so go early to get the best seats.

Thanks Goldstar.

The lead character, Charley, stole the show with her performance. As usual, the Celebration Theatre's sets and staging were on point. Love the intimacy of the theatre and the play's blending of past and present.

I went with a friend and we absolutley loved the event. Time went by flying. We were captivated throughout the entire play. Edgy and yet classy. This was one of those few events were it would have been worth it to pay the full amount; great deal with goldstar. Parking was a bit tricky, get there with enough time to find some. The venue was intimate and comfortable. The acting of the women was enthralling; the female with polio..I blanked out on her name was phenomenal!

I really enjoyed the play!. It was a small, intimate theatre. The staff was very nice. I thought the acting was excellent. The storyline was thought provoking, and explores how circumstances effect our choices and our lives,and particularly how one decision can effect the rest of our lives. It also reminds us how lucky we are today in this society where people who are "different" are treated more equally. The time period of the play included the 1940's and 1950's, and the present time. I would absolutely recommend this play!

Chosen from hundreds of scripts as the winner of Celebration Theatre's New Play Contest, Still Photos is a 1940s love story. Aubra is a housebound, Fifth Avenue opera diva, whose career collapsed when she was crippled in the polio epidemic of 1931. Charlie is a modern-day “Rosie the Riveter,” whose job as a projectionist at the Flatbush Cinema fuels her dreams of becoming a movie producer. While the men are fighting the war in Europe, these two women, unaware that they are being haunted by the future, fall desperately and dangerously in love.
