Great Experience, before, during and after.
Priscilla Beach Theatre的点评
点评:We started attending Priscilla Beach Theatre last year. It is such a great barn theatre! From the second you pull in the lot there is a feeling of joy. Last year my husband and I had a goal to visit and attend as many summer stock theatres in New England as possible. It was a fun quest and we attended 12 shows at 8 different theatres. Priscilla Beach was one of them and it was fun to find out the background and history of these hidden gems which are left over from a time when going to the theatre was an event.
We saw 9 to 5 which was a fun piece based on the movie of the same name. Bob Malone the current owner (and former software entrepreneur who invested millions) mills among the current theatre go-ers and it is clear that this is a labor of love for both he and his wife. Before the performance begins, he "m-cees" an introduction and even if you think you might hate the play, witnessing someone who is living his best life causes one to be infected by his unbridled enthusiasm.
The performance was fun. I did not like the "participation by video" of Dolly but the cast was very enjoyable.
Clearly most of the audience was over 50 and most likely season ticket holders.
Mr. Malone had shared with us last year that he does not need to advertise and most shows are sold out long before the season beginning. Clearly this is a local tradition which only adds to the atmosphere of joy .
翻译:我们去年开始去普里西拉海滩剧院看戏。那真是一个很棒的谷仓剧院!从你把车开进停车场的那一刻起,就能感受到一种愉悦的气氛。去年,我和丈夫的目标是尽可能多地参观新英格兰地区的夏季巡回剧院。这是一次有趣的探索之旅,我们一共去了8个不同的剧院,看了12场演出。普里西拉海滩剧院就是其中之一。了解这些隐藏的瑰宝背后的故事和历史,真是令人兴奋。它们见证了过去去剧院看戏是一件盛事的时代。
我们看了《朝九晚五》,这是一部根据同名电影改编的精彩剧目。现任剧院老板鲍勃·马龙(他曾是一位投资数百万美元的软件企业家)经常在观众中穿梭,显然,他和妻子都对剧院倾注了满满的爱。演出开始前,他会主持一段介绍,即使你一开始觉得可能会不喜欢这部剧,但看到他如此享受生活,你也会被他那份毫不掩饰的热情所感染。
演出非常精彩。我不喜欢多莉的“视频参与”方式,但演员阵容非常精彩。
显然,大部分观众都超过50岁,而且很可能是季票持有者。
马龙先生去年曾告诉我们,他不需要做任何广告,大多数演出在开演前很久就售罄了。这显然是当地的一项传统,也为演出增添了欢乐的气氛。
