Best Theatrical Ensemble

There wasn’t a weak link in the eight-person cast of director Amanda DeMaio’s staging of Ken Ludwig’s door-slamming farce, set in 1953 at a theater in Buffalo, New York. Whether called upon to shamelessly overact (these are actors playing actors, for crissakes), desperately try to plug the holes threatening to sink the traveling troupe, or merely reacting to the madness caused in large part by the roaring ego of the impresario at its center (a masterful Brian J. Cook), the cast excelled at working together by not-so-quietly ripping apart at the individual seams. It was a fun STAGEStheatre show made even more enjoyable by such committed, fearless performers.
