Congratulations to the cast of Tantallon Community Players' production of Guys and Dolls. I went with a couple of friends from ...Spelling Bee and I honestly feel that the company has really pulled in some strong leads. I think that with a bit of discipline and a season of shows with smaller casts that TCP could really have a flourishing production company once more. Valerie Holt delivered each of Sarah Brown's songs with professionalism and grace and was truly deserving of the role. TCP is a company that I am very familiar with, and as a veteran performer there, Holt has come a long way and will be successful in future endeavors. Perhaps the actor most comfortable in his role was Zadoc-Lee Kekuewa as Sky Masterson. He continuously seemed at ease while on stage, never once getting tense or nervous throughout the performance and gave Sky Masterson a different kind of edge that evened out his most charming moments in the show. Another enjoyable performance was given by Leslie Kekuewa as Adelaide. To me, it seemed as though she channelled Betty Boop, which was a good choice in terms of vocally keeping up with the numbers "Adelaide's Lament" and "Bushel and a Peck". Rich Amada did exceptionally well in playing Nathan Detroit. Sinatra certainly left a mark on the role when he portrayed it in the movie which came out in 1955, but Amada had a very smooth, baritone voice that latched onto the music very well. He was also successful in giving the character a slew of one-liners throughout the show.
The show runs for two more weekends at the Harmony Hall Regional Center in Fort Washington, MD, closing on June 10. Friday and Saturday shows are at 8 pm, Sunday matinees at 2 pm. For tickets you can visit TCP's ticketleap page by clicking here.

Round Five
For A Change Gon' Come! And this time the DC Black Theatre Festival gave us the primetime theatre (300+ seats) and timeslots (Friday at 7 and Saturday at 8) to remount this fabulous fictional telling of Harriet Tubman's legacy. Thanks to a few award nominations from last years performance (Costume Design, Audience's Choice, and Best Play for Young Audiences), the cast has really great expectations for future opportunities with this show! And hopefully we win something!
