All performances of Plan-B Theatre’s THE SCARLET LETTER are now sold out. So…we will be selling stand-by tickets in the Rose Wagner box office 15 minutes before show time. All remaining performances will start at :05 past the posted show time – unoccupied seats will be forfeited to stand-by ticket holders. Unfortunately at this time we can only sell stand-by tickets in person.

Mr. Meyers, you nearly had a well written critic of this review until you chose to end it with a classless insult. It is you who must get off your high horse, for you appear to attacking windmills in your pursuit of dragons. Standing up for community theatre is one thing, dismissing an entire review because the writer admitted her hesitations in its preamble is an entirely other, more foolish reaction. I’m sorry you got lost at that point because you missed out on a very well written and highly thoughtful review. Being a reviewer is not an easy job, and when engaging in discussion or debate with others, rather online or in the real world, you must always remember the golden rule and do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Ms. Walton, thank you for attending and reviewing our show. You are much appreciated.

Do you see how that sentence starts with “It is my personal belief…”? Yep – my belief, doesn’t have to be yours. And it isn’t that people involved in Community Theatre are any less passionate. Community theatre is an incredibly vital aspect of our arts system, and many of the performers that are now acting on a professional level got their start by padding their resume with a lot of experience in community theatre. However, as the producers of the show even mentioned in the Q&A session after the show, community theatre is a gamble-you never know what kind of talent will be available, and therefore you never know what kind of quality your production may or may not have.

And I’m pretty sure that the name calling isn’t getting us anywhere.

This is a wonderful show that deserves to be seen. However you as a reviewer lost me in your opening. The statement that community theatre is not enriching for the audience is a bold statement wrought with undue cynicism. It is this very attitude that maintains that only professional theatre is worth the time, and is a damaging statement for all the those invested in all types of theatre are trying to create and enjoy. Your review becomes invalid when you open that somehow this production is automatically subpar because those involved are somehow less passionate about what they do and love, you pretentious ass.

Thank you for your time in coming to the show. Your review was spot on! Also, it should be noted that all these actors are NOT paid for their time and talents. That’s part of the beauty and the “luck” I had in directing them. Thanks again. I sincerely hope you felt that your time was well spent.
