    I saw the show last night and loved it! I thought it was riveting, funny, sad, dark and superbly acted. I highly recommend it!

    TheT last performance of Beauty Queeen of Leninanc” lived up to its billing. The mixure of heartrending possibively heartrending pity and terror softened, often in the same speech
    was Sophoclean and his contemorarties.

    It was a great final performance tonight at Dunn Gaherins tonight. The stage was 1/2 the size of the previous smallest venue but the raw energy was doubled. Congrats to a stellar cast (Linda Goetz, Lida McGir, Dave Rich, and Matt Phillipps). It was an amazing final homecoming performance and the audience loved it.

    Good to see you there Brian Yates and we’re glad you liked it
