Our First Rave

Boy is it exciting when your company receives a positive review. It is even more exciting when you receive a rave on your first time out of the gate. This is exactly what happened for us following our concert staging of Ragtime. Dan Sherrier, of the Herald-Progrss, was kind enough to publish his thoughts on Ragtime in the Thursday, October 9 issue of the paper. Below are some highlights from his glowing review.

"Impressed a nearly full auditorium"
"Even without any staging, the performers mesmerized the audience with their stunning powerful vocals for nearly three hours."
"By the end, the cast and orchestra more than earned the standing ovation they received"
"Based on this enjoyable sample, Hanover-and the entire Richmond are-is in for a treat when Stage 1 begins producing local, regional and world premieres"
"A complete success."
-Dan Sherrier, Herald-Progress

I certainly hope that we can continue to impress critics and audience alike. Artistic excellence is and will always be at the front of every decision we make. As we move into our 08/09 Inaugural Season, we look forward to continuing to bring to Richmond high-quality productions of local, regional and world premiers.

With the Opening Night of tick, tick...BOOM! just around the corner, we are well underway in bringing you just that.

See you at Stage 1
