I’d like to say a few words in defense of community theatre: why are we so hard on it? I’ve done it. You’ve done it. Sure, sometime it can be rough around the edges, but more often than not, like this production, it produces something genuine and authentic and beautiful. A quick glance at the program showed that the cast is made up of nurses, producers, government workers, students and more. None of these people are performers by vocation, but by choice. They do it for love of the arts, love of the community, love of each other. –Greg Kerestan, BWW Reviews: Prepare Ye for GODSPELL in Fox Chapel
