I know this is a bit late to the party, but I saw Midsummer last night based on this post and your son’s review. There are no words to describe how amazing it was!! Looking forward to attending more productions from the DTC. Thanks for the tip!

The kid is a born critic and a sensitive intellectual. How did he get to be so smart? It must be from his mother’s gene pool, don’t you think?

“Unique and unlike any other play I’ve been to.”

If I didn’t know we were just talkin’ better than Stomp, that quote would have sent be scurrying to the ticket line.

Excellent review.

The stand-in was for one of the actors in The Mechanicals. Puck (Cedric Neal) is well and good. We fully expect the actor on a short medical leave to return to the stage very soon.

The kid’s a natural. Language and interpretive skills beyond his years. Look forward to more of these recorded mini-reviews.

Sorry to hear about Puck. The stand-in was probably awesome with just a short amount of time to prepare. Just hope it’s not Cedric the actor! Cedric was outstanding in “Tommy.” I saw Moriarty when he interviewed Tony Kushner about two years ago at the Kalita Humphries. Articulate, witty, charming. Afterwords, he stayed and spoke to everyone who waited to meet him. I became a big fan of his that night.

I vote you both go to “Superman.”

@Anne: My son and I have already begun arguing about which of us will get to see It’s a Bird …. He’s pretty locked in.

And something I forgot to mention: Kevin Moriarty said a few words before the curtain went up. One of the actors (My Fair Lady thought maybe it was Puck?) was a stand-in for an actor who’d had an emergency appendectomy. The stand-in had just 24 hours to learn his lines.

Can’t wait! I have tickets for Saturday. I think Kevin Moriarty is going to be a great shot in the arm for the theater center. I loved “Tommy”, and I’ve never been a big theater fan. I’m also looking forward to next year’s “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman!”
