Actors’ Summit’s musical revue is a plague upon our houses.

Actors’ Summit’s Tintypes contains some faltering singing, which is unfortunate for a musical revue that’s about 99 percent song. Bottom line is that the opening night for Tintypes sounded like it needed more rehearsal time. Singing issues did not rest with Mark Seven alone: Nearly all of the vocalists in this quintet had their pitchy moments, except for Holly Reimer.

hello TALLEY'S FOLLY @ ACTORS' SUMMIT - hub

Olmsted Falls-born, Catholic-raised, Actors’ Summit-based Keith Stevens sure makes a convincing Latvian Jew.

TALLEY’S FOLLY is a fine play that gets an excellent production.  The cast (Keith Stevens and Shani Ferry) create real, accessible characters.  The story showcases the kinds of prejudices that often cause problems in people’s lives and gives a hopeful glow that there is hope, even in light of hate and gossip mongering.  This is a go-see evening of theater!

A good, old-fashioned love story provides an interesting night in the theater and something to talk about on the way home. “Talley’s Folly” is such a story and, now, it’s lighting up Actors’ Summit Theater.  Lanford Wilson (1947-2011) (playwright) provides the audience with a brief look into life in Lebanon, Missouri, where he lived as a child.  Set in 1944, at the peak of World War II, “Talley’s Folly” reflects the fears and hopes of mid-westerners as they prepare for the end of the war.  Will the country fall into an economic recession when the soldiers return home from the war?  Will people become more accepting of others, who might not be like themselves?

hello CHAPATTI @ ACTORS' SUMMIT - hub

Place two chairs on a stage and put Anne McEvoy and Neil Thackaberry in them and great theater is likely to result.

Actors’ Summit’s CHAPATTI is a lyrical, gentle tale that explores loneliness, isolation and depression among senior citizens, whose story slowly and beautifully builds bonds of trust and companionship between an older man and woman.

While charming at its core and extremely well acted, “Chapatti” carries more darkness than light that some may find unnerving in spite of the hopeful ending.  It is the happy/sad play that will have you thinking about a lot of issues.

David Ritchey

Dogs and cats usually aren’t the subject of stage plays.  “Chapatti” is different.  Chapatti is the name of the dog.  The cast of this 90-minute one-act play bring one dog and about 16 cats to life on the Actors’ Summit stage.  “Chapatti” deals with two lonely people, Dan (Neil Thackaberry) and Betty (Anne McEvoy).  Their pets, like glue, seem to hold their fragile lives together– Dan has Chapatti and Anne has about 16 cats.  Dan realizes he needs more than the dog to make his life complete. Unfortunately, he sees no opportunity to live a fulfilling life.

hello SAME TIME NEXT YEAR @ ACTORS' SUMMIT - hub

Bob Abelman

While clearly not Actors’ Summit’s intention, it is impossible to sit through its production of “Same Time, Next Year” and not feel as if you’ve just binge-watched vintage sitcoms on Nick at Nite.  

To see a full review of this show, read Bob Abelman's CJN review here.

Roy Berko

SAME TIME NEXT YEAR is an old-fashioned comedy that is filled with tender and humorous lines.  It a perfect play choice for the Actors’ Summit audiences and gets a delightful production under the direction of Paula Kline Messner, with fine performances by Keith Stevens and Natalie Sander Kern.

Kerry Clawson

The play’s dialogue and gender roles, depicting 1951 to 1975, come across as dated. And some of the references to race and sexuality are painful to listen to, as are a number of corny jokes. But the heart of the work is interesting in its two simultaneous character studies, with both George and Doris learning, evolving and finding themselves as individuals over more than two decades.

Mark Horning

For those “oldsters” looking to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, this production is the perfect answer.  The laughs are genuine and are balanced with heartbreak to bring balance to the evening.  Expertly directed and acted, this is well worth the drive to Akron.

hello GUYS ON ICE @ ACTORS SUMMIT - hub

‘Guys on Ice’ more bait than bite, but its charm is reeling.

As a couple said in the elevator while exiting the theatre,  “It was kinda cute.”  Yep, all righty, if you are in the right mood, and don’t expect Shakespeare or Sondheim, GUYS ON ICE is kind of cute.

It seems I’ve mellowed out over the last six years, considering I found the goofy little musical 'Guys on Ice' more entertaining this time around than I did in 2009 at Actors’ Summit.
The musical ... has a barely-there story and mostly schlocky tunes that attempt to hold the lightweight 90-minute show together. But this show knows how to laugh at its own lame hinterland humor ...

If you are looking for a non-holiday infused show that is witty and a true delight to watch, look no further than Actors’ Summit’s production of “Men on Ice.”  Spend a delightful evening with these “Ice Hole Philosophers” as they sing, dance and joke their way into your heart.  This gem of a show is well worth the short drive from Cleveland.  You Betcha.
