"Theater, actors deliver strong Gin Game" 

Record Publishing

 

The Gin Game, by DL Coburn

a tragic-comedy in two acts

 

"Funny, with big laughs, and tragic, with heart-breaking moments."

West Side Leader

 

"The opening night audience seemed entranced by the production. The audience
members gasped when a significant bit of information was revealed for the
first time. Some were seen wiping a tear away as the production moved into
its final chapter."

West Side Leader

 

 

Richard Figge as Weller Martin

Jo McGarvey as Fonsia Dorsey

 

"The subject matter in The Gin Game is timeless, including issues of old
age, pride and being continually drawn to someone who's abusive. McGarvey
and Figge so masterfully create this world of escalating geriatric combat,
at one point, you get the feeling that their characters enjoy the fighting
because it makes them feel alive."

Akron Beacon Journal

 

"Both shine as exceptionally talented performers who have the ability to
move the audience to gasps and tears."

West Side Leader

 

"Figge creates a fascinating portrait of an old man lashing out in fear."

Akron Beacon Journal

 

 

  "The Gin Game" should be required viewing for the oldest on the family
tree and those on the lower branches. This powerful production will continue
through Oct. 17. 

West Side Leader

 

 

Final weekend, with performances Thursday through Sunday.  (330) 434-7741
