Great show, I really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
BRAVO! Saw the play Friday Night and it was awesome! We are so blessed to have this group. I am very anxious for GECA to get into their new theater and finally have a home. This is what happens when people do not quit.
Wow, this was so much fun! I got to see old friends, make new friends, and do what I love most: act stupid in front of hundreds of people! While I’m glad I never have to see that wolf costume or wear that wig again, I will sincerely miss Beauty and the Beast and its wonderful cast, even those I didn’t see eye-to-eye with. It was a stressful, successful summer, and I can’t wait for the next one! Long live GECA!
We saw this play on Thursday night and it was great. It is special to see and hear all the talent from our area. The children and the adults were laughing out loud. I agree, you won’t be disappointed.
I couldn’t agree more with Anne. Our community is so very fortunate to have such talent, and through GECA, those talents can be exposed. The one thing GECA needs in order to continue the fine performances is community support. Attending a performance and encouraging your neighbors to attend is critical to the longevity of GECA and their desire to expose others to the fine cultural arts.
You won’t find a better value for your family’s entertainment dollar than this. GECA is known for top-notch family friendly shows and this one is no exception. I appeal to the community to come out and support this group. With all of the trash out there parading as entertainment, it is refreshing to find something that you can feel good taking your kids to see. This is an excellent cast with many talented actors and much experience. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks, William, for the publicity.
