</font></font>K</i><i>yle Primous (Eugene) and Kristi Little (Alma), give two of the finest
local performances of the season. <font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font></font>They are both impeccable in their
acting and character development. Playing numerous roles, each hits the
sound and movement of every character, from childhood images to adults
of various ages. If there were local Tony awards to be handed out, the
duo should be preparing their acceptance speeches!<font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <br></font></font></i><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>Roy Berko Review Blog</font></font><i><br>
