Were continuing our encore of the #FreddieG Outstanding Performances at #JTFWest. Did you know what the adjudicators said about Grandstreet Theatre? Warts and All had the whole cast tap dancing, jump-splitting and leaping with joy. The vocal dynamics were fantastic. The entire ensemble shined. From the opening number, I was hooked! I wanted to hang out down on the farm all day with this outstanding cast! We enjoyed really smart directing and choreography that highlighted the strengths of this great group. Kate Loble is a star in the making who milked every moment for laughs. - Dean McFlicker Grandstreet Theatre's ensemble knows how to take all the ingredients from the craft of theater and put it together with such commitment and joy! This charming tale was staged, sung, and acted masterfully. - Cindy Ripley These students showed us beautiful ensemble work, story telling, use of the stage and connection to the music and story. - our own John Prignano : Marcus Woollen
