The Detroit Free Press has come out with a “3 out of 4 Star” review for SUMMER AND SMOKE. Although much of the review by Martin Kohn is a re-telling of the plot, it does praise the show saying things like hie yourselves to Performance Network with no negative comments at all. And I must give credit where credit is due: In his review, discussing the characters John Seibert plays, Mr. Kohn writes: Both Alma and John are children of the town’s pillars, the preacher and the doctor (John’s father is also a physician), both played by John Seibert. Canny Caselli worked it out so they never appear on stage together. In truth, Tennessee Williams worked it out so they never appear on stage together in the trimmed down Acting Edition of the script, as he did with several characters. I just took advantage of it to double cast some great actors!

Nothing bad here, go and check it out for yourself at http://www.freep.com/entertainment/newsandreviews/smoke3e_20050503.htm.

Hooray, 2 for 2. Hopefully, with the two big papers liking the show, ticket sales will continue to be great and the cast will have full houses to play to!
