Providence Phoenix – “Masterful Amadeus”
Posted on November 12, 2009 | No CommentsAs a play, Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus has more than its share of theatrical muscle: Strong and compelling characters, an absorbing storyline, clever structure, and a pretty classy soundtrack. The playwright’s film adaptation couldn’t much improve on the stage potential. It’s heartening to see that going in the opposite direction budget-wise, from big screen to church auditorium, doesn’t have to lose anything essential. Elemental Theatre is putting it on at Providence’s Beneficent Congregational Church, and the production is exquisite. -
ProJo.com – “A must see for anyone who likes good theater”!
Posted on November 10, 2009 | No CommentsThis is a shoe-string production, to be sure, with very little in the way of sets and embellishments. But it is also a powerful production, with excellent leads and the addition of live music, rather than the usual taped sound track. -

One more week
Posted on October 22, 2009 | 1 CommentOne week from tonight we'll be performing in front of our first preview audience! Last night the musicians came to rehearsal, and their sounds transported us beyond the walls of the space. It's so great to have them with us, and reminded me of why Mozart's music sends Salieri into a tailspin, equal parts ecstasy and pain.
