‘Act well your part; there all the honor lies’ – Alexander Pope
I hope you got to see some fantastic theatre last month in the Queen City. There was plenty to see. September shows no sign of slowing down.
I got to catch a gem of a show: Three Bone Theatre’s “4000 Miles” at Upstage. Marilyn Carter played the aging Vera. Her performance was a master class in acting. If you missed it, you certainly missed out.
But that’s the best part about plays. When a play comes down it allows a new theatrical gem to step into the light. September is going to be slammed. Buckle down – go see some theatre.
