I saw it and recommend it. The acting is great and the show is funny. Jann I have to say that I took four very tired children to the Red Princess last week-end. We had been out and busy the whole day and were near crashing when we went to the show. For the next hour I had the pleasure of listening to them all belly laugh and ooh and ahh. It was really a great play and a whole lot of fun for all of us. We left happy and energized and not one of the kids complained during or after the performance. They had a great time. We have spent the last couple of days repeating jokes we heard during the performance and my oldest (11) saying bits of the play and trying to prompt my youngest (4) to continue on cue. Also, Rachel performed, in the most endearing way, and "pleeaaasse" will at our house from now on, be said "her" way!!! (Go check out the show and you'll know what I mean!) Wendy R.
Five thumbs up for Easy Theatre's The Red Princess Goes West! The princess uses her knowledge and resourcefulness
to overcome her mild-mannered kidnappers. Action, intrigue, fun, song,
dance, and even romance!

the Family Tree

It is sometimes poignant, sometimes silly, often surprising, and not to be missed. These amusing characters are expertly and honestly portrayed by four wonderfully-talented, quick-witted, and sharp-tongued actors. Starring
Rated PG-13 some adult language. Also availabe is a PG rate version with cussing cut to fit your patrons. Also available a 1-hour cutting. |
