Theatre Notes
“INSPIRED… The cast of thirty is disciplined and enthusiastic and give their all… Mark Lewis makes for a slim, suave, stylish Julius Caesar, who can charm and also threaten. His friend, senator, and soon to be nemesis, Decimus Brutus (the commanding Christopher W. Jones) is lured into the conspiracy to murder Caesar by Cassius (the incredible chameleon Melora Marshall)… As Antony, Michael McFall* is stupendous with a thrilling, fierce, commanding voice of extraordinary power that stuns the audience.” — Paul Myrvold, Theatre Notes

The Canyon Chronicle
“A CHILLING PRODUCTION… Dramatic tension sustained throughout the play to the final, brutal scenes; it’s not often that you can see this level of action and sword fighting onstage and up close.” — Annemarie Donkin, The Canyon Chronicle
