I love Astoria. I try to come at least once a year. AND I always try to schedule my trips to include seeing either Scrooged in Astoria or Shanghaied! I cannot understate the pleasure of seeing really good small town theatre! There is a warmth and intimacy that one cannot get otherwise.
I truly feel a part of the community when I come to these showings. The acting is wonderful and a good hybrid of classical talent and slapstick. The complexity of the characters is augmented with local references and color throughout. There is a joyful insertion of references to the patrons of the show imbedded within the performances that is quite reminiscent of vaudeville (without all that pesky juggling :) )
Missing Scrooged is one of my biggest laments from Covid :( -- not Pantages, not Broadway. Scrooged.... I miss Scrooged.....
